TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
…The Lord will judge and determine and solve and settle the cause and the cases of His people.
Hebrews 10:30, AMPC
TODAY’S WORD
Are you dealing with an “unsolved case” from your past that needs resolution? You might have been through some bad breaks. People may have said things about you and done things to you that hurt and offended. Are you waiting for your day of justice or repayment? God promises in His Word that He is our vindicator. He is our defender. He will settle your case and repay everything the enemy has stolen.
But in order to allow Christ to settle your debts, you have to release your concerns to Him and forgive those who have wronged you. It’s very freeing to say, “They can’t pay me back. I’m on God’s payroll, and He never misses a payment.” God will settle your cases.
Joel Osteen Devotional 16 October 2019 – Be Free to Forgive
You have to allow Jesus to take on the debt they owe you in the same way that He took on your debt for sin. That’s true forgiveness—freeing others so that you can be free. As you walk and live in forgiveness, you show that you trust in God to repay you, and He will honor your faith in Him!
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
God, I believe in complete restoration in every area of my life! That starts with letting go of the past and forgiving those who have wronged me. I forgive them, Father, and I praise You for taking on my debt. In Jesus’ name – Amen.
