Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 18th December 2025 TOPIC: Serve Your Way Up
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Serve the LORD with gladness and delight.
Psalm 100:2, AMP
TODAY’S WORD
Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers and served in the household of Potiphar. He could have been bitter and slacked off, but he kept being his best, serving with excellence, doing more than required. Potiphar noticed and put him in charge of his whole household. When Joseph was unjustly put in prison, the same thing happened there. He was so excellent that he was put in charge of the prison. All that led to his interpreting Pharaoh’s dream and being made prime minister of Egypt.
You can serve your way up. People notice when you go the extra mile. You should be so productive, so above and beyond, so exceptional at work that there’s a gap when you’re not there. That doesn’t mean you have the most talent; it means you know how to serve well. Keep serving, keep being faithful, keep helping somebody else rise higher. Serve your family with a smile, go to work with a good attitude, sing in the choir with joy. Remember that you’re serving the Creator of the universe. He’s keeping the records.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for calling me to be a person of excellence in everything I do, to go the second mile and always be my best. I want being my best to flow out of my heart of love for You. I believe that as I give it my all, I will see Your goodness and favor in my life in new ways. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
