Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 10 March 2026 TOPIC: Forgive
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?” … But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God?” – Genesis 50:15, 19, NIV
TODAY’S WORD
Think about Joseph. Because of his brothers’ betrayal, Joseph spent thirteen years in slavery and prison in a foreign land. One day, after Joseph was made the prime minister of Egypt, the brothers stood before him trying to buy food in a famine. This was his chance to take revenge. These brothers had taken his freedom and were responsible for him losing years of his life, being away from his family, not following his dream. In a sense, he had a right to get even, but Joseph had already learned that he needed to forgive people who didn’t deserve it. He forgave the people who tried to ruin his life. Because Joseph showed God that He could trust him to do the hard thing, to forgive and be good to people who weren’t good to him, God poured out blessings upon him. He put Joseph in charge of the whole nation. When you do what God is asking you to do when it’s hard, when it’s not fair, when it doesn’t make sense, there’s no limit to how high God will take you.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for showing me Your mercy, Your kindness, and Your goodness over and over when I didn’t begin to deserve it. Help me to have a heart that is free from seeking revenge and getting even. Help me to forgive and to do good to those who have done me wrong. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
