Joel Osteen Daily Devotional March 21, 2025 Friday TOPIC: Mistakes Do Not Define You
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.
Psalm 86:5, NKJV
TODAY’S WORD
The enemy is called “the accuser of our brethren.” He’ll remind you of every mistake you’ve ever made. He’d love for you to live down on yourself, thinking you don’t deserve anything good. He’ll whisper, “You had God’s blessing, but you squandered it. You had His favor, but you mishandled your marriage and didn’t treat your spouse with respect. You mishandled your dream.
You got distracted and compromised. You mishandled your talent and wasted your potential. You weren’t focused and didn’t develop what you know is in you.” That may all be true, but what the enemy doesn’t tell you is that there’s another chance coming.
God’s forgiveness and mercy is bigger than your mistakes. God didn’t give up on you because you mishandled what He gave you. He has another opportunity so you can prove to Him who you really are. You’re not defined by your mistakes. You’re prepared by your mistakes. Every failure can teach you something. Don’t live in regrets; learn from your mistakes. Get the lesson out of it so you don’t keep repeating it.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You that whatever the enemy says about me cannot withstand Your great mercy. Thank You that I am not defined by my mistakes and failures, but I am defined by what You say about me. I am forgiven and redeemed and free from condemnation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
