Today's Verse: Philippians 2:9-11

Wednesday, December 8, 2021

Therefore God exalted him... that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
— Philippians 2:9-11

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

I love the fact that I do each day what everyone will one day do: bow before the majesty and proclaim the Lordship of Jesus Christ to honor the Father's glory. How wonderful it is to be able to make that proclamation because of grace rather than in fear at the end of a life that has been spent in what is rebellion, denial, and waste. I gladly bow my knee, humble myself, and prostrate myself before the King of Glory, Jesus Christ my Lord!

My Prayer...

Father, I do praise you for the truth about Jesus that will one day be realized fully by everyone who has ever lived. Doubters, haters, hypocrites, and pretenders may have their say in our fallen world, but Jesus is coming, and I can't wait to see him in his glory! May my life display that truth in the way I treat people today. May my lips suitably proclaim that truth so others can know Jesus as Lord today. In the name of your Son and my Savior, I pray. Amen.
