Joel Osteen Devotional 2nd July 2025 Inspirational Wednesday Message
Today’s Topic: He Knows Your Name
Scripture: When Jesus came by, he looked up at Zacchaeus and called him by name. “Zacchaeus!” he said. “Quick, come down! I must be a guest in your home today.” – Luke 19:5, NLT
Today’s Word
Zacchaeus had climbed a tree to get a glimpse of Jesus as He passed by. Amidst the waving, shouting crowd that had gathered to get His attention, Jesus suddenly stopped and looked up at Zacchaeus. Now all the eyes were on him. Zacchaeus thought, “Oh no! He knows I’m a crooked tax collector.
He’s going to condemn me for cheating people.” But Jesus stunned him by saying, “Zacchaeus!” He thought, “How does He know my name?” Can I tell you that God knows your name? You may have never spoken to Him, but He’ll speak to you. He doesn’t hold your faults against you. No, He calls your name. What’s significant is that the name Zacchaeus means “pure one.” Jesus could have called him “scum” as the crowd did, but He called his name, “Pure one!” He was not calling him who he was but who he could become. That was the turning point in his life.
Zacchaeus quit being dishonest and started making decisions that honored God. Don’t go by what people call you; go by, and live by, what God calls you.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that You see beyond what I have been to what I can become, and You call me by name. Thank You that You call me forgiven, redeemed, a precious treasure, a masterpiece, and Your child. I declare that Your kindness and goodness has turned me from my sin. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
TODAY’S INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: Quit carrying around all the worry, the stress, the disappointment. Life is going to happen. If you’re only going to have a good mood if things go your way, then you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. That’s surface living. You have to go deeper. Say like Paul, “None of these things move me.
I’m not going to let other people, delays, and what doesn’t work out sour my day.” Turn that over to God. You’re not supposed to go through life worried, frustrated, discouraged. Yes, you may feel upset, but you don’t have to act on it. You may feel offended, but you don’t have to take the offense inside. You may feel discouraged, but you can override it and encourage yourself. You can think new thoughts.
