Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 11 June 2026 TOPIC: Banish the Negatives
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Banish bitterness, rage and anger, shouting and slander, and any and all malicious thoughts—these are poison.
Ephesians 4:31, VOICE
TODAY’S WORD
With so many social media platforms today, people can express their negative opinions about you so easily and say things that are derogatory, disrespectful, rude, and fault-finding. The only power that has is the power you give it. If you let what flows from their jealousy, bitterness, or anger get in you, if you dwell on it, that will poison your spirit. Over time it will change who you are. You’ll become defensive and waste your time trying to prove to people that you’re okay, that you’re not what they said. That’s giving them your power. Don’t pay attention to what they’re saying. Quit reading the negative comments. Don’t get drawn into a battle that you’re not supposed to be in.
Don’t let their gossip, jealousy, or criticism get in your spirit and steal your joy. Don’t give it the time of day; ignore it and move forward. Keep doing the right thing, and God will deal with the detractors. Stay focused on your goals, your dreams, and fulfilling the destiny God has given you.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You are my vindicator and that You will protect my reputation as I keep on honoring You and doing what is right. Help me to banish any negative chatter that is expressed against me and to not read it or listen to it. I believe that You will handle it Your way. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
About Joel Osteen
Raised in Houston, Texas, with a loving family of seven and world-renowned parents in full-time ministry, Joel Osteen never imagined that he would follow so closely in his father’s footsteps. As a young man, his training and interests were behind the scenes in television production, though he was close to his father in ministry. (Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 11 June 2026)
