Joel Osteen (July 18, 2025) Daily Devotional: Love and Loyalty.
Don’t lose your grip on Love and Loyalty. Tie them around your neck; carve their initials on your heart. Earn a reputation for living well in God’s eyes and the eyes of the people. Proverbs 3:3–4
Today's Word: Most people say that at some point in their life, it’s hard to stay committed to their marriage, to their dream, to their job, to a friend. It’s been said that halfway through on the road to your destiny, you’ll feel like giving up. Some people give in and go back when it’s no longer exciting, growing, and going their way. The other people stay committed and keep moving forward no matter how they’re feeling. The dreams God has put in your heart, the promises you’re standing on, may be taking longer than you thought. You don’t see any sign of it happening. That’s a test. Are you going to get discouraged and give up on what you’re believing for? Stay committed and loyal when your relationships are troubled. Keep doing the right thing when it’s difficult. Keep being your best when it’s not fair. It may not be easy, but you have what it takes. God is in control. Dig your heels in and say, “I’m in it for the long haul.” Be committed to love and loyalty and never giving up.
Prayer For Today: “Father, thank You that You have never been wishy-washy in Your commitment to love me at all times. Thank You that I have the can-do power to be steadfast when it’s hard. Help me to stay committed in all my relationships and in my work, to be someone others can always count on. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
