Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 1 July 2026 TOPIC: Who You Really Are
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
But Moses said to the LORD, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I speak with faltering lips?”
Exodus 6:12, NIV
TODAY’S WORD
Moses had God’s promise that he would deliver the nation of Israelite slaves from Pharaoh. But the Israelites were too discouraged through hard labor to listen, and Pharaoh refused. Moses’ words were met with resistance, and he made the mistake of immediately talking defeat. He was on the verge of letting his negative environment change his identity from deliverer to defeated. Fortunately, God spoke to Moses and promised again that by signs and wonders He would bring the Israelites to freedom.
You may be in an environment now that contradicts what God promised you. The circumstances look just the opposite of the dream He put in your heart. That’s a test. The enemy would love for you to lose who you really are, to see yourself as limited or a victim. You can let it change you, adapt to the environment, water down your dream, or you can say, “No, thanks. My environment doesn’t dictate my identity. I know who I am. I am a child of the Most High God, and I will become all I was created to be.”
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for the great and precious promises You have given me that will lead me to my best life possible. Thank You for the hope and encouragement You provide through Your Word. I refuse to settle for less than what You have called me to be. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
