Joel Osteen Devotional Today 8th February 2023
Today’s Joel Osteen Daily Devotional for Wednesday 8 February 2023 written by Joel & Victoria Osteen. God bless you as you study!
TODAY’S TOPIC: THROWN MERCY
Today’s Scripture: John 8:10–11, NLT
“Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
Today’s Word by Joel Osteen 8th February 2023
Jesus was teaching in the temple when the religious leaders dragged a woman caught in adultery in front of the crowd and said, “The law of Moses says to stone her. What do You say?” She was guilty, deeply shamed, without a defense.
Rather than answer, “Jesus stooped to the ground and wrote in the dust with his finger.” They may have thought He was stooping down to pick up a rock to throw, but He stooped down to throw mercy. He said, “You who are without sin, go ahead and throw the first stone.” It was dead silence until one man walked out, then another and another. It wasn’t until all the men left that Jesus stood up and spoke the words of forgiveness in today’s Scripture.
This story signifies how God will get dirty to rescue you. He’s not a God who just stays in the heavens. He’s a God who stoops in the dirt to restore someone caught in sin, shame, and disgrace. His way is to free you from guilt and release you from condemnation.
Prayer for Today
Father, thank You that Your love is the real love that I need to change my life. Thank You that You sent Jesus to stoop into my dirt and free me from all condemnation for my sins. I receive Your mercy now, and I believe I am free from all guilt. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
