Thoughts on Today's Verse...

We are like the moon; the glory we show is the reflection of the Lord's greater glory in our lives. The brightness of our light does not originate in us. This radiant light of God's glory 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 in my life today. Be near me as I face challenges and temptations. Don't let the evil one bring me shame because of my past sins and my present weaknesses. Please triumph over evil in my life for your glory. As I look to you, please reflect your radiant glory through me, and from me, to others who need to know you. In Jesus' name, I ask expectantly. Amen.

Cashing in Our Hearts
Article by Phil Ware
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.
