Make God a Part Of Your Everyday Life | Joel Osteen

I want to talk to you today about making God a part of your everyday life.

God wants to help you not just in the big things.

God wants to help you cooking dinner, driving in the traffic.

He wants to help you with your schoolwork, help you be more productive at the office.

But here's the key.

God will only be involved in as much of your life as you allow him to.

A lot of people have God in a Sunday morning box.

That's when they come to church, pray, think about God.

Then they go out during the week and they don't really include God in their life.

They love God, they reverence him, but they think there's nothing spiritual about going to the grocery store, cooking dinner, or meeting with a client.

Because they keep God in this box, they're missing the blessings and favor that God wants to give them.

Proverbs 3, 6 says, acknowledge God in all of your ways.

Not some of your ways, not just the big things.

If you'll start acknowledging God in all of your ways, he will crown your efforts with success.

One way to acknowledge God is simply ask for his help.

on the way to the grocery store, under your breath, God, help me to find what I'm looking for.

Help this to be a productive trip.

That's acknowledging God.

You're saying, in effect, God, I need you.

I want you in my life.

That simple acknowledgement allows the creator of the universe to direct your steps.

God will help you find what you may not have found.

He'll put you at the right place at the right time.

And sure, you can do this without God's help.

You can do it in your own strength, but life will go so much better.
