Glory of the Lord revealed

bible.com/bible/100/isa.40.3.NASB1995

A prophetic exhortation told Israel to prepare for the revelation of the Lord’s glory at the arrival of Messiah. Scripture sees John the Baptist in this role (Mt 3:3; Mk 1:3; Lk 3:4–6; Jn 1:23). It likewise sees the future forerunner who is to be like Elijah preparing for Christ’s second coming (Mal 3:1; 4:5, 6).

Father, give us ears to hear, and eyes to see, as we seek ways to show your blessings to others, today. May we not forget, those especially, our brothers and sisters in Christ, in need.

Remembering the privilege I had, of participating in the baptism of a friend of mine. He, has since, been able to share his own story with many people, boldly. Love you Sam.

Oh God, you are my hope, in the good times and the bad. It is you, I put my hope and trust. Not in my circumstances, whether good or bad. You are everlasting, and my soul waits for you. AMEN!!!

Verse Thoughts from John Piper

True righteousness and godly love are two sides of the same coin, but neither are possible by human effort, strict training, mortifying of the flesh, or self-denial. True righteousness and unconditional, godly love is the supernatural enabling of a child of God by the Spirit of God, through faith.

To love our enemies and to do good to those that hate us, is impossible in our own strength. Blessing those that curse us and praying for those that mistreat us… without retaliation, is such a distinctive love that it is rare and beautiful and only exhibited in the lives of those that die to their own desires and live for the glory of God.

Every believer is positionally righteous because we were placed ‘in Christ’ at salvation. We are united to Him and identified with Him by faith. But living a life of practical righteousness and transmitting the unconditional love of God to others, which demands that we bless those that curse us and pray for those who despitefully use us and persecute us, is a human impossibility.

Lord, May we be spending our day, thinking eternally, as we go about our Fathers business. Our Hope is not in the things we do, but in the things that you are able to do, and accomplish through us as we hopefully point people to Jesus.

Love God, Love People

What a beautiful picture of the church, marriage, friendship, families………God did not design us to be a Lone Ranger to do this life alone, and he gave us great avenues to accomplish his purposes. Are you alone? Consider reaching out to someone, today, that God has placed in your life, that is walking with him.

We are redeemed, by God the Father, offering up his son, for OUR sins, that we might join Jesus from death to life, both now and for all of eternity, to all who believe, in Jesus, and his selfless act to take on our sins, that we might be made perfect, not by anything we could do on our own, but by believing in Faith.
