Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 20th February 2026 TOPIC: Trust When You Don’t Understand
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Your faithfulness extends to every generation, like the earth you created; it endures by your decree, for everything serves your plans.
Psalm 119:91, TLB
TODAY’S WORD
We’re not going to understand everything that happens in life. There will be detours, delays, dead ends, and times when it looks as though we’re stuck. It’s easy to get discouraged when our plans don’t work out, a door closes, someone does us wrong. We take one step forward, then two steps back. But God doesn’t always take us in a straight line. The Scripture says, “Everything serves His plan.” It’s not just the good breaks, the times you’re promoted, seeing favor, but even the closed doors, the relationship breaks, the setbacks. It doesn’t make sense to us, but God has a master plan. He sees what we can’t see. Sometimes He takes you backward so He can move you forward. He closes doors to force us to change. We’re comfortable where we were, but God has something greater, something we’ve never imagined. He uses trouble as transportation to propel you to a new level of your destiny. The question is, Will you trust Him in the trouble? Will you stay in peace when you don’t understand what’s happening?
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You are able to make all things serve me for my good, even the negative things that stress me out and seem to be holding me back. Thank You that I can stay in peace and trust when I don’t understand. I believe that You are working out Your plan for my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
