Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 22 June 2026 TOPIC: Leave It in God’s Hands
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly.
1 Peter 2:23, NLT
TODAY’S WORD
How much more peace would we have if we didn’t retaliate when we’re insulted, didn’t try to get even, and weren’t frustrated when others stir up trouble? Instead of fighting, we walk away and leave the issue in God’s hands, knowing He is fighting for us. Why live all stressed out, with high blood pressure and not sleeping well because we’re trying to solve the case, prove the case, win the case? This can save you a lot of heartache. When you leave that case with God, He’ll make the wrongs right. He’s heard the negative comments, seen the betrayal, the offense, the jealousy. None of that can keep you from your destiny unless you let the offense get inside and poison your spirit. You don’t have to retaliate. God will vindicate you better than you can vindicate yourself. This takes all the pressure off. It’s very freeing when you understand that you don’t have to change people or convince them to be for you. Just keep taking the high road, honoring God, and He’ll get you to where you’re supposed to be.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for the example that Jesus showed in His response to insults and false accusations. Thank You that I don’t have to waste my time and energies trying to prove who I am or change what others think of me. You are my vindicator, and I know You will make the wrongs right. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
