Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 28 June 2026 TOPIC: Minding Our Own Business
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
This should be your ambition: to live a quiet life, minding your own business and doing your own work, just as we told you before.
1 Thessalonians 4:11, TLB
TODAY’S WORD
We all have our own race to run in life, our own purpose to fulfill. What can distract us from that faster than anything? It’s minding other people’s business. “How much was spent on that church remodel? They should have used the funds for something more important.” “He should never have quit his job and started that home business.” “Well, if you ask me, she shouldn’t have married that guy in the first place.” Here’s the whole key: They are not me, no one is asking me, and it’s not my business. It’s their choice, not mine. I don’t know the details, and I don’t need to know the details. I have enough drama in my own life, and I don’t need their drama. I haven’t walked in their shoes, experienced their pain, fought their battles, and I don’t have their background. Maybe there’s something about them and their situation that I don’t understand, maybe it’s not what I think, maybe there’s a good reason behind it.
Let people run their own races while you run your race, focusing on what God put in your heart.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for all the people You have placed in my life. Thank You that You want me to love them like You do, to support them in every way that I can. Help me to mind my own business and to run my own race in a way that pleases You in all I do and say. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
