John 1:14 So the Word became human and made His home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen His glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son.
When I came across this verse in today’s reading, the astounding and often overlooked truth of it resonated deeply. We have seen God’s glory. We see it daily. How is this not a MUCH bigger deal?
John 1:14 …We have seen His glory….
I can enumerate long lists of where I’ve seen God’s glory: in sun rises over the ocean and sunsets behind misty mountains, in the rosy, dimpled cheeks of a precious newborn babe, in meals lovingly prepared, week after week, by a dear friend, in the love and prayers of countless people, in God’s peace, which surpasses all understanding, especially in the middle of a difficult situation, in just enough light to take the next step and the next and the next, in the assurance that He is with me, holding me, even when I can’t perceive it. I have seen His glory. Thank You, Jesus.
John 1:14 …We have seen His glory….
Lord, Thank You for this day and for bringing this scripture to me this morning. Thank You for the immediate understanding that I HAVE seen Your glory so often in my life. Thank You for revealing Your glory, Your goodness, so readily. Give us eyes to see it more clearly and recognize it more easily every day, and help us to share it with each other. Draw us closer. Amen.
Psalm 46:10 … “Be still, and know that I am God….”
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
