Joel Osteen Devotional Jul 26 2019 – Right Companions

TOPIC: Right Companions

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.  – Proverbs 18:24, ESV

TODAY’S WORD:
Your destiny is too big to accomplish on your own. That’s why it’s so important to be connected to the right people. You have to understand that God has already arranged supporters to speak faith into you. He has already placed people in your path who will inspire you, challenge you, and help you accomplish your dreams.

The reason some people never reach their highest potential is because they never get away from the wrong people. Not everyone can go where God is taking you. Beware of associating with or adopting the attitudes of people who, through their negative outlook and lack of self-esteem, will rob you of the greatness that God has for you.

Connect with people who understand your destiny, who appreciate your uniqueness, and can call forth your seeds of greatness. You don’t have time to spend on people who are always pushing you down, telling you what you can’t do, or never giving you their approval no matter how hard you try.

You cannot hang out with chickens and expect to soar like an eagle. If you will get the wrong people out of your life, God will bring in the right people so you can fulfill the destiny He has in store for you.

PRAYER FOR TODAY: Joel Osteen Devotional Jul 26 2019
Father in heaven, thank You for placing the right people in my life. Help me to discern the right connections You have for me. Give me strength to release the wrong relationships so I have room in my life for the people You have chosen to connect with me in Jesus’ name. Amen.
