Meeting You Where You Are?

Daily Bible Verse & Prayer

Today's Verse - Philippians 4:20

To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

—Philippians 4:20

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

What will we share in eternally with God? God's glory!

What led Israel through the wilderness and was reflected in the face of Moses after meeting with God? God's glory.

What is too marvelous for us as humans to fully behold? God's glory.

What should we do when we are seeking to honor God? Give him the glory that is due him. Praise him in glorious songs. Bring honor to Yahweh's holy name!

So, let's join the apostle Paul and praise God by saying:

To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

My Prayer...

Wonderful and glorious God, you are majestic in holiness, patient with my imperfections, tender with my brokenness, and emphatic about my participation in your glory. Please receive my praise as I approach your throne of grace with love, admiration, appreciation, and thanksgiving. All glory be yours, O God, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Today's Verse - Philippians 4:8

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.

—Philippians 4:8

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Let's get our minds out of the gutter and get our hearts focused on God's glory. Let's get our minds out of the focus on problems, difficulties, and horrible things we see in our world today and remind ourselves of God's goodness and the glorious things that pertain to him. If "we become what we behold," then let's choose to focus our gaze on:

...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.

My Prayer...

Righteous and Holy God, you are marvelous and glorious, perfect in every way and beyond my comprehension. Please awaken the character of your holiness within me through the power of your Holy Spirit. I don't want minor changes, but the Spirit's transformation to become more like Jesus. Please help me see and focus upon the good and glorious things that reflect your nature and not the divisiveness, sleeze, and fluff of my world. In Jesus' name, I pray for your help to rise above the meaningless, vain, and nasty things of my world and focus on you and your glory so I can bring others to you. Amen.

Today's Verse - Psalm 85:6

Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

—Psalm 85:6

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Our Father, God, loves his children even when they are rebellious. However, God showed Israel that their rebellion would drive his presence and blessing from them. But with their genuine repentance and their confession of sin, God joyously promises to bring revival, renewal, and restoration. He gives them, and gives us as Jesus' disciples, this very prayer as we turn our hearts to God, repent of our past sins, and return to His ways of living:

Will you not revive us again, that your people may rejoice in you?

And the Father will answer, "YES!"

My Prayer...

Father and Almighty LORD, please forgive me for my sins. I confess them freely to you now... (Be specific about the sins you want to confess.) Having you in my life, honoring your Kingdom with my behavior, and honoring your love with my graciousness toward others are very important to me. Please revive me again and empower me to love, do good deeds, and live a holy life so that you will be praised. In Jesus' name. Amen.
