Become a Better You

Author: Joel Osteen Publishing House: Free Press

Joel Osteen decided to put together a 90-day reading presentation of the encouraging principles in Become a Better You to help you gradually develop a habit of becoming a better you each day.


Daily readings from "Become a Better You" 90 devotions for improving your life every day. By Joel Osteen, Pastor of Lakewood Church.

Whether life is going well for us or collapsing right before our eyes, we all want to be better. We want to be more effective in our lives. We want to know God better; we want to be better spouses and parents, better lovers, better encouragers, better community leaders, better employees, and better bosses and managers. None of us gets up in the morning and says,

“You know, today I really want to do worse than I did yesterday!” No, God put something deep down inside us that evokes a desire to be more like Him. In our inner being, we hear a voice saying, You were born for better than this; you are meant to live at a higher level than you are currently. Don’t be satisfied with less. You can be better.

The question is: “How? What must I do to become a better me?”

Today, many people are developing a greater vision for their futures and are experiencing more of God’s blessings and favor. But even if you are living your best life now, it is important that you do not become stagnant. God always wants to increase us, to do more in and through us.

He always wants to take us deeper into self-discovery and then raise us to a higher level of living. He didn’t create us to be average. He doesn’t want us to settle for “good enough.” He wants us to keep stretching, to keep pressing forward into the next level.

In Become a Better You, my goal was to help you look inside yourself and discover the priceless seeds of greatness that God has placed within you. I showed you 7 keys that you can use to unlock those seeds of greatness, allowing them to burst forth in an abundantly blessed life.

These keys are not complicated or difficult; in fact, their sheer simplicity often causes them to elude many people’s notice. Nevertheless, they are 7 key principles that have helped shape me and continue to keep me expecting good things in my personal life, in my relationships, in my family, and in my career.


I know these principles work, because I have experienced them firsthand in my own life.

So I decided to put together a 90-day reading presentation of the encouraging principles in Become a Better You to help you gradually develop a habit of becoming a better you each day.

Let me remind you that these devotionals are not meant to be full treatments of passages of Scripture. I am usually highlighting a specific point from the Bible that will inspire wholehearted love and worship of God. Hopefully the slower pace of these devotional readings will encourage you to immerse yourself in God’s Word and see all the practical guidance God has to give you.

These daily readings from Become a Better You have been selected to emphasize the 7 keys that form the structure of the book. But I’ve added several features that I’m convinced will help you apply and live out the truth that God wants you to know. Each devotional includes:
 
• Scripture Reading to Become a Better You—these passages will sometimes relate directly to the key being described, and in other instances the Scripture reading will provide necessary background for accurately understanding the truth you are studying. Please don’t neglect these brief selections from God’s Word if you want to gain the most benefit from this book.

• Key verse—usually chosen from the Bible reading that expresses the theme of the devotional.

• Devotional Excerpt from Become a Better You—a couple of pages of lessons and stories that I believe will encourage and uplift you.

• Today’s Prayer to Become a Better You—some suggestions that will help you express your heart’s responses and set the stage for you to share your prayer requests, desires, gratitude, and fresh commitments to God. Feel free to adapt these prayers and make them

In the incarnation, God spanned the vast chasm of fear that had distanced him from his human creation

Reflections on the Incarnation and Freedom of God

Philip Yancey
Think of the condescension involved: the incarnation, which sliced history into two parts had more animal than human witnesses. Think, too, of the risk. In the incarnation, God spanned the vast chasm of fear that had distanced him from his human creation.
Remember that His presence can be experienced. His promise is as true as ever.

The Blessing of the Presence of Jesus

Charles Spurgeon
He is as certainly with us now as He was with the disciples at the lake when they saw coals of fire, fish on the coals, and bread (John 21:9). Not physically, but still in real truth, Jesus is with us!
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

God’s Awesome Love

Charles Stanley
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them. With great awe and in complete reverence, the shepherds looked upon the baby Jesus. It was true.
The clear claim of Scripture, and Mary’s own testimony, is that she had never been physically intimate with any man.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

The Announcement to Mary

John Macarthur
When we first meet Mary in Luke’s gospel, it is on the occasion when an archangel appeared to her suddenly and without fanfare to disclose to her God’s wonderful plan.
The precious blood of the Lamb slain removes the guilt and purges away the defilement of our sins of ignorance and carelessness.

Sanctifying Joy and Cleansing Grace

Charles Spurgeon
Amid the cheerfulness of household gatherings, it is easy to slide into sinful amusements and forget our declared character as Christians. It should not be so, but it is, that our days of feasting are very seldom days of sanctified enjoyment.
