Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 14 November 2025 (Friday) Message. Today’s Word With Joel & Victoria Osteen.
TOPIC: Careful to Not Drift
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it.
Hebrews 2:1, NLT
TODAY’S WORD:
It’s interesting to watch children at the beach who are playing in the waves of the ocean. After an extended period of play, you’ll see them look up and realize that they are a hundred yards down the beach from where they started. They didn’t realize that that whole time they were slowly drifting. It wasn’t a big storm or huge waves that caused them to drift. It was just the normal movement of the ocean.
If you are not careful and aware, the normal currents of life will cause you to drift from the faith. To drift does not require a major sickness or a divorce; just everyday life will do it. Perhaps you don’t realize it, but you may have drifted into a place of doubt. You used to be excited about your dreams, but the passion is gone. Maybe you’ve drifted into bitterness because you had a bad break, a person did you wrong. The good news is that you can stop the drift and start believing again, start expecting His goodness and blessings. Keep your hope in the Lord.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that my faith can be firmly and securely anchored to my hope in You. Thank You that my hope and expectancy in You will never be disappointed, and it keeps me from drifting into doubt and mediocrity. Help me to be careful and stay true to the truth. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
