Yesterday's Word

Live always grateful

Gratitude is pleasing to the Lord! Recognizing the gifts we receive in our lives is a quality of those who have already perceived the goodness and love of God. And this understanding is expressed through worship and praise. These are good habits that foster fellowship and intimacy with Christ:

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are him;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
- Psalm 100:1-3

There are many ways we can show our gratitude to God. We can speak with Him in prayer. We can sing praises filled with thanksgiving. We can live each day by obeying His Word and bearing witness to His power. These are some of the ways in which we can express our gratitude to God.

Take time to meditate on God’s goodness in your life and give thanks to the Lord for all the blessings you have received. They may be things we often take for granted, such as breathing or having clothes to wear. They may be more surprising things, such as the healing of an illness or His provision at just the right time.

Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Develop a heart full of gratitude. Thank the Lord for what He has done in your life and for allowing you to see this day.

Have an excellent day!

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Word of the day: Seek God and show Him your face

Many times, we don't feel fulfilled in life because we don't seek God or allow Him to change us. Receive this truth today: He loves you and wants to transform your life!

And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18

This verse invites us to deeply reflect on the spiritual transformation that occurs when we surrender to the Lord. It begins with the encouragement that all of us, as Christians, are called to live with unveiled faces. This means we don't need to hide who we are before God, for He knows us deeply and accepts us as we are.

When we turn to the Lord and seek His presence, something wonderful happens. We begin to reflect His glory, just as a mirror reflects the light shining upon it. As we behold the glory of God, we are transformed from glory to glory. This means that as we grow in our relationship with God, His image becomes more visible in us.

This transformation is not our own doing, but the work of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. It is He who enables us to grow spiritually, to develop the character of Christ, and to reflect His glory to the world. Therefore, our role is to continually seek God's presence, allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us, and transforming us into His image.

May we embrace this promise of transformation, and daily seek the presence of God, so that with unveiled face, we may reflect His glory and be transformed from glory to glory by the Spirit of the Lord.
