Read: Luke 15:11-31

Meditation verse:

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your  soul prospers” (3 John 2).

God’s plan for you is that you prosper in every area of your life. He wants you to  be in close relationship with Him. He desires that you live in good health,  experience flourishing relationships with others, thrive financially, have a sound  mind that is devoid of fear and accomplish your purpose on earth. His plans for  your life are plans of good and not of evil. 

Today’s reading which highlights the story of the prodigal son portrays the heart  of God, our heavenly Father. The heart of our Father is full of love, compassion,  mercy, forgiveness, and grace. Psalm 103:11-14 says “For as the heavens are  high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; as far as  the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. As  a father pities his children, so the Lord pities those who fear Him. For He knows  our frame; He remembers that we are dust”.  

You are loved, forgiven, pardoned, helped, strengthened, and graced by your  heavenly Father to live an abundant and fruitful life. Jesus said, “I have come  that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John  10:10). In Mathew 7:11, He says “If you then, being evil, know how to give good  gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give  good things to those who ask Him!”. Isaiah 41:10 says “Fear not, for I am with  you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help  you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand”. This is the heart of our  Father. 

Choose to focus on the heart of your heavenly Father which is set to do you good  always. The song writer says, “I have a Father who will never ever fail me, I have  a Father who will never ever fail me, Jesus is my Father, He will never ever fail  me, King of glory, never ever fail me”. What a blessed assurance. Make this your  declaration daily.
