Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 14 July 2025 TOPIC: The Power of Obedience
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“Sir, if the prophet had told you to do something very difficult, wouldn’t you have done it? So you should certainly obey him when he says simply, ‘Go and wash and be cured!’” So Naaman went down to the Jordan River and dipped himself seven times, as the man of God had instructed him. And his skin became as healthy as the skin of a young child, and he was healed!
2 Kings 5:13–14, NLT

TODAY’S WORD
Naaman was a powerful commander in the Syrian army who took offense when the prophet Elisha told him to wash seven times in the Jordan River and he would be healed of leprosy. It was a small obedience that didn’t make sense to him. His mind nearly talked him out of his miracle until his officers told him to just obey the simple instructions. What’s interesting is he didn’t have the faith that it would happen. He wasn’t singing praises and thanking God that the answer was coming. He was negative, sour, and complaining, but he was healed when he dipped down the seventh time.
Naaman’s healing wasn’t in the water; it was in the obedience. His obedience overrode the fact that he didn’t have the faith. That’s the power of obedience. Could it be that your healing, your promotion, your breakthrough, or the restoration will come if you just keep doing the right thing? Perhaps it will come when you obey the seventh time. Your obedience may be difficult, but God is the rewarder of those who honor and obey Him.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You are the true and living God and that You reward those who honor and obey You. Thank You that my obedience can never earn Your blessing but it can lead to it. I believe that when I am doing the right thing You will reward me with favor. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
