Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 23 May 2026 TOPIC: It’s About What You Remember
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Remember how Job endured and how the Lord orchestrated the triumph of his final circumstances as a grand display of His mercy and compassion.
James 5:11, VOICE
TODAY’S WORD
The Scripture says we are to remember Job, how his faith endured through suffering, and how God’s compassion and mercy was displayed. Job honored God and was living a life of excellence when everything fell apart. He lost his children, his business, and his health. His wife told him to “just curse God and die,” and his friends told him all the loss was because he must have disobeyed God. He was nearly despondent, but just when it seemed like Job was going to settle there, he looked up to the heavens and said, “I know my Redeemer lives.” He was saying, “God, I don’t understand this, but I know You’re still on the throne. I trust You.” God not only brought Job through the difficulty, but he came out with twice the cattle and sheep, got his health and joy back, and lived to enjoy four generations of his children.
When you’re in a difficult time, remember Job. Disappointment and loss do not define your life. Be steadfast, be faithful, keep honoring God. You’re going to come out stronger, healthier, more fulfilled and blessed.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that You are on the throne, and You are with me in times of loss and difficulty. Thank You that I can remember Job and how You brought him through the trial of his faith better off than he was before the loss happened. I believe that Your mercy and compassion are with me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
