Joel Osteen (March-21-2023) Today's Word: Tender Mercies
Today’s Scripture: Psalm 103:4, NKJV - Who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies...
Today’s Word: Where would you be if God had not redeemed you from your wrong choices? Perhaps some of the things in your past--the group of friends, the drugs and alcohol, the reckless driving, a freak accident--could have taken you out. You were headed down the wrong path, doing things that you knew were not God's best, but you encountered the God who overrules. He loves you too much to let you miss your purpose. Today's Scripture talks about the tender mercies of God--not "mercy" but "mercies." Again and again, God shows you mercy. His mercies are new and available to you every morning.
You may have made a lot of mistakes, but the good news is, you don't have to carry that around with you. Do you feel like there's something between you and God right now? Come to His throne of grace and receive His mercy. Ask for His forgiveness for every failure. Don't carry around yesterday's mistakes any longer. Let Him refresh and restore your soul right now.
Prayer for Today: Father, thank You for the countless ways You've shown me Your tender mercies, protecting me from accidents and delivering me from mistakes I've made. Thank You that Your mercies are new for me. I come to You and ask You to refresh and restore my soul right now. In Jesus' Name, Amen
