Words of Encouragement
August - 05 - 2007
Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus on the "Mount of Transfiguration" before Jesus' closest disciples. This was the ultimate honor for them as faithful Jews. God, however, wanted them to know that as important as Moses and Elijah are, only Jesus is his Son. His Son's words are the ultimate authority and the bottom-line truth of God's will. If we are to be refreshed, renewed, and restored, we must begin by listening to and obeying God's Son and our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Let us read today, Matthew 17:5.
While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!"
Let us go to our heavenly Father in prayer.
Righteous Father, please give us a holy hunger for the words of Jesus. Help us as we seek to not only understand them, but also live them. We want to make honoring you our lives' work just as it was His. Please give us wisdom today, as we seek to make decisions and face difficult circumstances with integrity, grace, and obedience.
In the name of the Lord Jesus we pray.
Amen.
