Joel Osteen

David was just minding his own business this day.

As far as he was concerned, it was just another day at work, nothing special, taking care of sheep, keeping them from wild animals.

Suddenly his whole life changed.

It happened unexpectedly.

You may think it's just another ordinary day going to work, coming home.

You don't know what God is up to.

You never know when that messenger is going to show up saying you're needed in the house.

You didn't see it coming.

You weren't expecting it.

Suddenly you meet the right person.

Suddenly the medical report says cancer free.

Suddenly you get that break that thrust you to the next level.

You were called into the house.

What's interesting is David wasn't dreaming about becoming a king.

He wasn't praying that one day he would lead a nation.

He never thought he would defeat that giant and become an overnight national hero.

He was a shepherd boy from a low income family.

That influence, that kind of favor never entered his mind.

What God has in store for you is much bigger than you've imagined.

We pray for things that seem reasonable to us.
