Scripture Reading
Matthew 17:2
And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.
Reflection
On the mountaintop the disciples saw Jesus as he truly is — radiant, eternal, the meeting point of heaven and earth. Most days we walk by sight alone, forgetting who it is we follow. The Transfiguration is a reminder that beneath the ordinary surface of the world, glory is real and very near. Let that reality steady you today.
Prayer for Today
Lord Jesus, we love You and praise You as our resurrected and reigning Lord and Savior. We yearn to see the knowledge and the worship of You fill the earth. We pray that the many messages that were preached and shared over Easter weekend would continue
to fill the earth, the hearts, and minds of the people who may have heard it for the first time - or who are rejoicing in faith as they hear it again. We lift up thanks and praise as we also intercede for our nation and
neighbors next door and around the world for Your provision and protection, for health and hope. We lift up our prayers and watch expectantly for Your glory to shine and spread across the earth.
