Joel Osteen Devotional for Today – January 23, 2025

TOPIC: Who’s in Your Ear?

Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces. – Proverbs 13:20, MSG

Today’s Word

We all have people who are influencing us, people who are in our ear. We’re listening to their counsel, following their suggestions, trusting what they say. The question is: Are they the right people? You shouldn’t take advice from everyone or be swayed by every opinion. You need to look at their track record. Have they made good decisions? Do they honor God? Do they have your best interests at heart? You have to be careful who’s in your ear. If you have wrong voices, you’re going to make wrong choices. If you hang around friends who compromise or coworkers who gossip, their example, their advice, and how they’re influencing you will keep you from your potential. Be selective. Some people will tell you how to run your life, but they can’t even run their own life. They’re giving you relationship advice, but they’ve been through six breakups. They’ll tell you how to invest and spend your money, but they can’t pay their own bills. Before you take that advice, consider the source. Are they a person of integrity and excellence?

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for the people in my life who inspire me, challenge me, and make me better. Help me to be wise about who I listen to and the counsel and opinions I receive. Help me to distance myself from anyone whose influence will keep me from my potential. I want to walk with the right people. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
