Joel Osteen Devotional Tuesday 11 March 2025 TOPIC: Get Real
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
The prodigal son wasted his father’s inheritance on wild living, had no money, ended up feeding hogs and eating their food to survive. This could have been the end of the story. But today’s Scripture says he finally got real, quit pretending like everything was okay, took off the mask, admitted his sin, and returned to his father.
When the father saw him coming, the father came running, hugged him, forgave him, and restored him to his sonship. The father represents God. When you take your mask off, He will come running to you. That means you get honest and humble enough to say, “God, I need help with this addiction. I need help with my temper.
I need help in my marriage. I’ve made a mess of things. I can’t straighten my life up by myself.” He knows your insecurities, your fears, your failures, you’re weaknesses. You don’t have to pretend you’re okay. When you come to God and ask for His help, for His forgiveness, for His mercy, that’s when He begins to restore you and set you on the right path.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that I can humble myself and admit my weaknesses, sins, and failures. Thank You that Your power goes to work in me when I stop pretending that I have it all together. I am taking off the masks and asking You to help bring the change I need. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
