Joel Osteen Devotional August 30 2021 – Be Committed

1 Corinthians 13:7, ESV

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

We’re all tempted to give up on what we’re believing for, to walk away from someone who disappoints us, to slack off at work and not be our best because we’re not being treated right. But if you’re going to reach your highest potential, you have to stay committed. You have a made-up mind that you’re in it for the long haul. It may be difficult, you may have a good reason to walk away, but don’t take the easy way out. Stay committed to your marriage, stay committed to raising that child, stay committed to your friends in the good times and in the tough times. Stay committed to your dreams. Don’t give up on the promises God put in your heart when it’s taking longer than you thought. Stay committed to your job, and stay committed to your church. Be loyal, be somebody others can count on every day.

The people who see their dreams come to pass are the people who stay committed. God rewards consistent, faithful, committed people.

Father, thank You for Your faithfulness and commitment to love me at all times. Thank You that You never slack off in bringing Your promises to fulfillment in my life. Help me to stay committed in all my relationships, to be faithful in my work, to be someone others can always count on. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
