The Road Home: Reflections of a Prodigalනියැදිය

Again, we see the Lord Himself rejoicing in these verses.

And while these verses were originally penned to Israel, the prophet speaks truth for those of us who can say,

“The Lord has taken away your punishment,
He has turned back your enemy.”

If we have asked Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for our sins and rule our lives as King, our punishment is indeed taken away, and He has defeated the enemy of our souls!

A spirit of joy and celebration could live at our very core!

We are saved, rescued from the punishment of sin.

How do you feel reading that the Lord is rejoicing over you? That He takes great delight in you?

Spend some time praying that your heart would be full of joy over your own salvation.

Spend some time praying for people you know that God wants you to “search for” so that they, too, would be saved.
