How You See Your Heavenly Father

October 5, 2024

Today’s Scripture

“When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, ‘At home even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying of hunger! I will go home to my father and say, “Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you.”’”

Luke 15:17–18, NLT

Today’s Word

After the prodigal son had taken his father’s inheritance, wasted it all on wild living, and was finally destitute, feeding hogs, it was only the character of his father that gave him the boldness to return home. He knew that there would be judgment from others, especially from his brother, but he knew his father was the key. He remembered how loving, generous, merciful, and compassionate his father was. He did not return to his family house, but to his father, who wonderfully welcomed him and fully restored him as his son. How you see your Heavenly Father will determine whether you stay away from Him or return to Him when you’ve done wrong. Maybe you’re staying away because you have the wrong image of God. You’re letting the lies play: “God won’t receive you. You’ve blown it too many times. You should live guilty and condemned.” No, if you know who your Heavenly Father really is, you will arise and go to Him. You will know that He is waiting with open arms, waiting to celebrate your arrival.

Prayer For Today

“Father, thank You for who You are, so compassionate and merciful. Thank You that You are not holding my past against me. Thank You that I am forgiven. Thank You that I’m redeemed because of what Jesus did on the cross. I’m coming boldly to Your house right now. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
