Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 27 July 2026 TOPIC: Outlast It
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“The LORD delivered you into my hands today, but I would not lay a hand on the LORD’s anointed. As surely as I valued your life today, so may the LORD value my life and deliver me from all trouble.”
1 Samuel 26:23–24, NIV
TODAY’S WORD:
Sometimes the way you overcome a difficulty is to outlast it. For years, Saul was trying to kill David, who lived on the run, hiding and surviving in the wilderness, doing the right thing when it was hard. David had two opportunities to take Saul’s life, but he wouldn’t touch Saul because he knew God had anointed Saul. He let God be his vindicator and didn’t take matters into his own hands. Thirteen years after David was anointed by Samuel, Saul was killed in battle and David was made king. What took him to the throne wasn’t defeating Saul; it was the miracle of endurance. God sustained him.
But when we’re in the middle of the difficulty, it can be hard to see. Saul is still making your life miserable. The sickness hasn’t improved. Your child is still off course. You’re doing the right thing but the wrong thing is happening. That’s when you have to say, “Lord, thank You for sustaining me. Thank You for the grace for this season. I recognize You’re holding back the opposition. You’re giving me the power to endure.”
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for the promise that if I keep honoring You with an attitude of enduring faith, You will bring me through to victory. Thank You that I can tap into the staying power to outlast whatever is coming against me. I believe that You are with me and will bring me through this. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
