Today's Verse: Psalm 34:5

Wednesday, October 5, 1949

Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
— Psalm 34:5

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

We are like the moon; the glory we show is the reflection of the greater glory in our lives. The bright light does not originate in us, but is a blessing to others as it is reflected from us and through us. Let's look to God for our hope, our strength, our values, our foundation, our security, and our light. When we do, we will shine like the brightest stars in the night sky (Philippians 2:14-16).

My Prayer...

Father, I look for you and to you. Be near me as I face challenges and temptations. Don't let the evil one bring me shame because of my past sins and weaknesses. Please triumph over evil in my life for your glory. As I look to you, please reflect your glory through me to others who need to know you. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

Cashing in Our Hearts

How big a check do you want God to sign for you? We often turn prayer into a time to demand God give us things so we can cash our check from him rather than as a time to submit to his will and grace for us.
