Popular pastor and author Joel Osteen shared an inspiring message on Facebook today, urging his followers to step back from the noise and distractions often found on social media. Osteen’s post emphasized the importance of not getting caught up in gossip, arguments, and constant comparisons, which he says can pull people away from their best selves.
Osteen warned that the “forces” on social media often aim to spark divisiveness and trigger negative emotions like jealousy, fear, and discontent, by exaggerating situations and stirring up controversy. To counter this, he referenced a promise from the book of Isaiah, where God says, “If you keep your mind stayed on Me, I will keep you in perfect peace.”
Encouraging his followers to focus on their faith, Osteen highlighted the peace that comes from directing attention to God rather than external distractions. His message calls for a renewed commitment to maintaining inner calm amid the often chaotic world of social media.
