“The father said, ‘Quick, bring me the best robe, my very own robe, and I will place it on his shoulders. Bring the ring, the seal of sonship, and I will put it on his finger. And bring out the best shoes you can find for my son.’” – Luke 15:22, TPT
Fully Restored
If you’re familiar with the parable of the prodigal son, you know this young man had wasted all his father’s inheritance on partying and returned home dirty, broken, desperate, and feeling worthless. But when the father, who represents God, saw his son, he ran to him and embraced him. He immediately fully restored his son with the best robe, the family ring, and new shoes. Seeing him, no one would have believed he had made such poor decisions and ended up eating with hogs.
The parable shows that when God restores us, we come out fully restored, full of joy, with gifts coming out, healthy, blessed, and prosperous. Get rid of the lie that says, “You’ll always be at a disadvantage. Look at the mistakes you’ve made.” That’s the enemy trying to keep you feeling condemned and unworthy and from putting on the best robe. Don’t take that bait. Put on the Father’s robe of righteousness and favor. Put on the ring of authority that has your name on it. He’s bringing you into a place of destiny.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You forgive me, imperfect as I am, and that every mistake I’ve made has already been paid for by Jesus on the cross. Thank You for Your heart of compassion, love, and restoring mercy. I believe that You robe me in Your righteousness and favor. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
“We are like tea bags – we don't know our own strength until we're in hot water.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
TIP OF THE DAY:
TAKE CARE WITH JUICERS
Many of us run fresh fruits and vegetables through juicers at home to create delicious concoctions to sip and enjoy. But according to foodsafety.gov, making your own fresh-pressed or squeezed juices at home can also make you sick. When juicing at home, be sure to wash your hands before you handle any produce. This will reduce any risk of transferring bacteria. Wash everything — including peeled fruits and veggies — under running water. If something is labeled as pre-washed on its container (like prewashed spinach or kale), it’s OK to juice it without washing. And always be sure any pre-cut fruits or vegetables are bought from a store where they’ve been refrigerated on ice.
Stay Safe: 8 Ways to Protect Your Smart Home From Hackers
(Credit: Getty Images/dontree_m)
Smart homes offer convenience and security risks. Here's what you can do to stop hackers from taking control of your smart speaker, thermostat, doorbell, and other connected devices.
Your smart home is a futuristic marvel. But when cameras may be hacked to spy on us, microphones manipulated with lasers, and entire security systems compromised by a smart plug, it's understandable if you have reservations about connecting your house to the internet.
There's no need to avoid the benefits of smart home devices entirely, though. The trick is to understand the risks and take advantage of available security features. Whether you have a full network of smart kitchen appliances or a single voice assistant, follow these steps to ensure no one messes with your stuff.

It’s easy to smile at a cheerful person, but how much greater the blessing to try to cheer up a discouraged or angry person. Joyfulness is contagious! Paul writes in his letter to the Romans (1:1-12), “For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you, that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each others faith, both yours and mine.” Share your joy with others at your house of worship this week; God will smile on you!
Keeping the house clean and tidy is one thing, but keeping the garage clean and free of clutter often feels like a Herculean task. Considering how much we store in our garages and how hard they work, it's not surprising that it can be very difficult to keep this area clean and organized. Folks find though that every minute that you invest in keeping your garage clean and tidy pays you back in dividends because the space becomes more functional.
