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 – Psalm 113:3

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-5

Psalm 112:4, 5
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

Daily D – Isaiah 1:18

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Daily D – 2 Kings 25:27-30

2 Kings 25:27-30 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.
