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 glorious 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 wasted in rebellion, denial, and selfishness. 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. I believe that his greatness will one day be realized fully by everyone who has ever lived. Doubters, haters, hypocrites, and pretenders may have sway in our fallen world, but Jesus is coming. I can't wait to see him in his glory! May my life display the truth of Jesus' glory in sacrifice through the way I treat people today. May my lips suitably proclaim this truth so others can know Jesus is Lord, today. In the name of your Son and my Savior, I pray. Amen.
