MAKING WRONG RIGHT

HIGHER EVERYDAY WEDNESDAY MAY 13, 2026 MAKING WRONG RIGHT TEXT: LUKE 19:5-10 MEMORY VERSE: "And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold" (LUKE 19:8). "A religion that compels a man to pay his debts, take back the things he has stolen, confess his lies, and uncover his crimes has credibility," says Longie Cunningham. Making wrong right is referred to as "Restitution" which is an act of making amends for wrongs done, restoring stolen things to their rightful owners, paying debts, owning up to frauds committed, and apologising to those we hurt or slandered in order to have a conscience free from offence towards God and man. Zacchaeus in our text, demonstrates this act of genuine conversion as he is seen promising to restore to others things wrongfully taken. This act makes others to know about the grace of God which can help one to be desirous of making wrong right. Friend, ensure that you have this free conscience, otherwise, seek to mend your ways today by doing your restitution. However, seek counsel from mature believers to handle intricate cases that may implicate others. Is your conscience free? If not, pray to God to help you make your ways right before Him and man. QUOTE: Seek to mend your ways today. CHALLENGE: Restitution is a necessity. PRAYER: Oh God, help me to make my ways right, in Jesus' name. Amen! #trend #devotional #trending
