JOEL OSTEEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR 26TH JUNE 2020 – STAY CLOSE TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE



THE TOPIC OF JOEL OSTEEN DEVOTIONAL FOR 26TH JUNE 2020 IS “STAY CLOSE TO THE RIGHT PEOPLE .”

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Ruth 4:14–15, NIV


The women said to Naomi: “Praise be to the LORD, who this day has not left you without a guardian-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel! He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age.




Naomi lost her husband in death, and then both her sons died as well. She was so discouraged that she didn’t think she could go on. She had been full of joy and sweetness, but now she was bitter. She even changed her name from Naomi, which means “my joy,” to Mara, which means “bitter.” She was saying, “Call me bitter.” But her friends refused and kept calling her Naomi. She was trying to stay in defeat, but they said, “No, you’re coming into victory,” and eventually she did.




If you have been through disappointments and loss, you need people around you who will remind you about who you are—not people who will get bitter with you and agree with the defeat. Stay close to people who will call you blessed and victorious. You want people in your life who will remind you that your best days are yet to come, that what was meant for your harm, God will use to your advantage.

PRAYER FOR TODAY: “Father, thank You that You are able to take the most unfair situations in my life and turn them into positives. And thank You for the people in my life who call me victorious and blessed. Help me to stay close to those who remind me of who I am. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
