Joel Osteen Daily Devotional (October 8, 2025) Like a Warrior.
The LORD will march out like a champion, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies. Isaiah 42:13, NIV
Today's Word: You may feel overwhelmed by a bad medical report, by a broken relationship, or by being cheated in a business deal. In tough times, you have to realize you’re not alone. The Most High God is fighting for you. He’s got your back. He’s brought you through in the past, and He’s going to bring you through in the future. God looks at your enemies and says, “If you mess with them, you have to first face Me.”
Now you have to do your part and get your fire back. You can’t sit around in self-pity and think about what you lost, who hurt you, and how unfair it was. That’s going to keep you down. Shake off that weak, defeated mentality and have a warrior mentality. Your attitude has to be that no matter what comes against you, it cannot defeat you. A warrior doesn’t complain about opposition; a warrior loves a good fight. It fires him up. If you have a warrior spirit and start doing what you can, God will help you do what you can’t.
Prayer For Today: “Father, thank You that You, the Mighty Warrior, the all-powerful Creator of the universe, are with me. Thank You that Your power to strengthen me in the difficult times is greater than any force that comes against me. I believe that You are transforming me into a mighty warrior. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
