Today’s Topic: What You Can Become
Scripture: Zacchaeus…took Jesus to his house in great excitement and joy. But the people were displeased. “He has gone to be the guest of a notorious sinner,” they grumbled. Luke 19:6–7, NLT
Today’s Word
Zacchaeus was a despised tax collector, known for cheating people. He was the chief tax collector, the worst one. Everyone considered him a crook. The religious people didn’t think God would have anything to do with him. But God doesn’t judge the way we judge. We see people as they are, but God sees what they can become. We see the mess, but God sees the treasure. God sees the miracle.
When Zacchaeus heard that Jesus was passing by, something came alive inside. Even though Zacchaeus was doing wrong, God in His great mercy began to draw him. Zacchaeus felt this longing to see Jesus. No matter how many mistakes or failures you’ve made, God never writes anyone off. He still has a purpose for your life, and He never consults your past to determine your future.
What you’ve done in the past doesn’t stop what God has planned. Sometimes religion tries to make you feel as though you’re not worthy. Don’t believe those lies. God’s calling is still on your life. You can still become who you were created to be.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that even though You know everything about me, You still invite Yourself to come to my house for dinner and bring the gift of salvation. Thank You that it’s not about what I’ve done or not done, but it’s about Your mercy and love. Welcome to my house. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
There are times when life deals us such a blow that we feel empty. We have nothing left to give. We started out well, we were passionate, pursuing our dreams, but we lost a loved one, the business didn’t make it, an unexpected illness. Now we feel empty. The beauty of our God is He’s not going to leave you empty. He knows when life has been unfair. He knows when you don’t feel like you can go on. He comes to the empty places. He has strength for the weary, fresh vision, fresh anointing.
Even now, God is breathing on your life. You’re about to come out of that empty place. Things are shifting in your favor. New doors are about to open, the right people are about to show up. You’re going to see a sign of God’s goodness letting you know that He’s about to tip the scales. They may be way out of balance now, but He’s not finished. He has something coming that’s going to far outweigh the loss, the heartache, the disappointment.
