Topic: Remembered No More
Today’s Scripture
Isaiah 44:22, NKJV – I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions, and like a cloud, your sins. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.
Joel Osteen Monday Devotional 12th July 2021 Message:
Imagine your mistakes and failures as a thick fog covering you. You can barely see anything in front of you. Then the sun comes out, and the fog disappears. It doesn’t move somewhere else; the sun evaporates it. We all have times when we’re clouded by sin, mistakes, and poor choices, but when you ask God to forgive you, the Son comes out, shines His light, and causes that sin to disappear–it’s gone. Hebrews 10:17 says He will remember our sins no more.
My challenge to you is, quit remembering what God has forgotten. Quit bringing up what’s already evaporated. If you keep dwelling on and reliving mistakes you’ve made, you’re causing that dark cloud to follow you everywhere you go. God evaporates it, and it’s sunny for a few hours. But then you start thinking about it again, reliving the guilt, and a new cloud forms. You are redeemed and restored, so keep the Son out in your life and walk in His light.
Prayer for Today
Father, thank You for blotting out all my sins like a thick cloud and for releasing me from condemnation because of past mistakes. Thank You for redeeming me and for Your promise that You will remember my sins no more. I want to walk freely in Your light. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
