Created for Greatness (Written By: Joel Osteen)

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

“For we are God’s   handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in   advance for us to do.”

(Ephesians 2:10,   NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria

It’s easy to go through life   thinking that we’re average; we’re ordinary. “There’s nothing special about   me. I’m just one of the six billion people on earth.” No, when God created   you, He put a part of Himself in you. You could say that you have the DNA of Almighty   God. You are destined to do great things, destined to leave your mark on this   generation. The truth is, there is nothing average about you; but too many   times we don’t realize who we are. We focus on our weaknesses or what we   don’t have. We focus on the mistakes we’ve made or the family from which   we’ve come. We end up settling for mediocrity when we were created for   greatness! If you’re going to break out   of average, you need to remind yourself every day, “I have the DNA of the   Most High God. Greatness is in my genes. I come from a bloodline of   champions.” If you’ll have the attitude of a champion, you’ll live the life   of a champion and boldly embrace the blessings He has in store for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father, thank You   for preparing me to do the good works You have prepared. I am not average. I   am not ordinary. I am created for greatness, and I belong to Almighty God.   Thank You for Your faithfulness in Jesus’ name! Amen.
