Joel Osteen Daily Devotional 31 May 2026 TOPIC: Joy Robbers
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“So you have sorrow now, but I will see you again; then you will rejoice, and no one can rob you of that joy.”
John 16:22, NLT
TODAY’S WORD
Jesus says that no person can take your joy from you. He is saying that no bad break, no disappointment, no storm, no calamity can take it; you have to give it away. It’s your choice. You’re in charge of your joy, and you have to guard it because you need it for your destiny, to raise your children, to accomplish your dreams. It’s designed to strengthen you and to empower you. But too often when we’ve had a disappointment, someone did us wrong, or we’ve done wrong, we make the mistake of giving away our joy. Then we wonder why we’re discouraged, why we don’t have the passion for our dreams, why we don’t have stamina for our children. It’s because we’re low on joy.
The good news is that you can get your joy back. It’s a decision that you can make right now and say, “No matter what comes against me, I’m going to live this day in faith. My God is on the throne and is for me. The joy of the Lord is my strength, and I will rejoice and be glad.”
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that I have the power to remain full of joy and stay in peace when circumstances and people try to take them from me. Thank You that You made this day, and I’m not going to live sour and defeated. I’ve made up my mind I’m not giving away my joy. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
