Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Some of the saddest words a child can hear are these: "I'm so disappointed in you." We don't want the reaction of our Lord and Savior Jesus as we stand before him when he comes in his glory to be, "I'm ashamed of you!" We want the world to know now that we love and honor Jesus as our Lord. We want those around us to come to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord, too! We refuse to be intimated or shamed into renouncing our Savior. We know that one day, every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord! But we want those we know, love, and influence to acknowledge the Lord with us on that day as we celebrate together his return in glory because we refused to back down from our faith in Jesus and led them to love the Lord, too!

My Prayer...

Lord God Almighty; please give me boldness, wisdom, and respect as I seek to stand up for Jesus daily. May my words and my life declare my allegiance to Jesus as my Lord and Savior. In the name of the Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen.
