Luke 9:37  The next day, after they had come down the mountain, a large crowd met Jesus. (NLT)

The text doesn’t explicitly say so, but it sounds like Jesus, James, John, and Peter spent the night on the mountain where Jesus was transfigured before them. Pete and the other guys got tired on the climb up the mountain and fell asleep. I wonder if they slept that night? Or, did they keep Jesus up all night asking questions about Moses and Elijah?

I wonder if the shepherds who enjoyed the heavenly musical when Jesus was born ever looked at the stars the same way again?

I wonder.

There are moments in life so overflowing with meaning that we never get over them. The majesty of those moments never goes away. 

Looking around at the drama going on in our world, it’s normal and natural to wonder if God is preparing something spectacular for those who long for his majesty to settle into our midst and make possible what only he can do.

Wonder with me. 

Let us turn our wondering into praying. Let’s ask God to extend his healing grace, to free people from the cages they have built for themselves, to deliver people from darkness, however they arrived in that state. 

May his wonderful light illuminate this present darkness.

I will pray for God’s majesty to be seen and experienced by all people everywhere. 

Our Father, this old world sure needs you right now. Too many leaders live all too closely to the lunatic fringe. Too much unhealthy, unwholesome, hateful, and hurtful behavior is paraded before our eyes and fills our ears. Some of it is news. Some of it is what passes for entertainment. Please deliver us from this darkness. May we live in the light of your presence. Make us beacons of your blessed illumination. Use us to drive the wolves away. Amen.

Daily D – Genesis 46:1-4

Genesis 46:1-4 So Israel set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night and said, “Jacob! Jacob!”

“Here I am,” he replied.

“I am God, the God of your father,” he said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again. And Joseph’s own hand will close your eyes.”

Daily D – Genesis 45:4-8

Genesis 45:4-8 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you. For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping. But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

“So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God. He made me father to Pharaoh, Lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt.”

Daily D – Genesis 41:1

Genesis 41:1 “When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile,”

Daily D – Genesis 39:2-6

Genesis 39:2-6 Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the Lord blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the Lord was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.

Daily D – Genesis 35:27-29

Genesis 35:27-29 Jacob came home to his father Isaac in Mamre, near Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed. Isaac lived a hundred and eighty years. Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
