Daily Readings From Every Day a Friday

Author: Joel Osteen Publishing House: Faith Words

This collection of ninety daily devotionals contains excerpts from the original book Every Day a Friday that emphasize positive, inspiring, and faith-building messages, along with additional supportive and encouraging material in the form of key Bible verses, daily prayers, and daily thoughts.


Daily Readings From Every Day a Friday. By Joel Osteen, Pastor of Lakewood Church

I wrote Every Day a Friday after reading about a number of studies related to the positive effects of happiness. One showed that people are happier on Fridays.

Another showed that Mondays are so stressful for some that more heart attacks occur on that day than others. There were also a number of reports about the positive impact of happiness and optimism on mental and physical health.

After reading all this research, I wanted to encourage people to see every day of the week as a gift from God, and to live each day with gratitude, good humor, and faith.

Daily Readings from Every Day a Friday is designed to help you do just that, one day at a time.

This collection of ninety daily devotionals contains excerpts from the original book that emphasize positive, inspiring, and faith-building messages, along with additional supportive and encouraging material in the form of key Bible verses, daily prayers, and daily thoughts.

Daily Readings from Every Day a Friday is divided into seven key parts. Each part is designed to build on the others.

The goal is for you to take just a brief time each day to read and reflect, to put the events and circumstances in your life in perspective, and to receive a mental, emotional, and spiritual lift.


Each of the daily readings was selected to emphasize one of the seven keys. I’ve added several other features to help you apply and live out the truth that God wants you to know. Therefore, each daily devotional includes:

• A suggested Scripture reading: These passages will sometimes relate directly to the key being described, and in other instances the reading will provide necessary background for accurately understanding the truth for that day. Please don’t neglect these brief selections from God’s Word if you want to gain the full benefit of this book.

• Key verse(s): A verse or verses chosen from the Bible reading that expresses a theme of the devotional.

• A devotional excerpt from Every Day a Friday: A brief story or lesson that I believe will encourage and uplift you.

• Today’s Prayer: A daily prayer that can serve as a model to help you express your prayer requests, desires, gratitude, and fresh commitments to God. Feel free to adapt these prayers and make them your own. Have a personal conversation with your heavenly Father.

• Today’s Thought: These are points meant for you to consider thoughtfully after each daily reading. God’s Word tells us that our thinking patterns become our acting patterns. The way we talk to ourselves greatly influences our actions. The Today’s Thought sections also are meant to encourage you to agree with what God thinks of you throughout each day.

These ninety readings should be read at a one-each-day pace so that they carry you through three months or so. My dream is that, day by day, you will grow stronger in your gratitude, your happiness, your faith, and your well-being.

Book cover of Daily Readings From Every Day a Friday
All of it was done for you and me.  Considering that, it is incumbent upon us to have the Blessing which the Cross affords

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

The Blessing which the Cross Affords

Jimmy Swaggart
This is the first mention of the Cross, although in shadow, after the Fall. The Lord told Satan through the serpent that victory would come by the Seed of the woman. Ironically, woman has no seed, with the exception of One, Who was the Lord Jesus Christ.
That “Light” resides in Christ, for He said, “I am the Light of the world”

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Light which Redeems the Soul

Jimmy Swaggart
The darkness that was here prevalent was taken away only by the Spirit of God, as He moved upon the face of the waters. As someone has well said, The Moving of the Holy Spirit is the first sign of life.
Put your Faith in Him and what He has done for you at the Cross.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Beginnings are one thing, while endings are another!

Jimmy Swaggart
On this first day of a brand-new year, which is a new beginning of sorts, the Lord offers to every person a brand-new beginning in their life, irrespective as to what the past has been. Millions this year will make New Year’s resolutions, resolutions which invariably will not be kept.
The place where god puts you will not be perfect—even eden was exposed to the possibility of evil. But there is no better place to be than where god has set you down.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

A Place Called Home

Colin S. Smith and Tim Augustyn
The book of genesis is part of the revelation god gave to moses at mount Sinai, so when it says eden was “in the east,” we are talking about a location somewhere east of Sinai.
We were created to come close to a Father who has made himself vulnerable to the longings of his people and to absorb his desires as he cares for and works through ours.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

God’s Heart and Ours

Chris Tiegreen
One of the primary ways God accomplishes his purposes on earth is through the prayers of his people. And one of our primary motivations for prayer is the desires in our hearts.
