DAILY SHOWER December 9, 2022 Devotion and Declarations
Prayer before the Word:
_ O God, my King, my Your name be highly glorified for the gift of life. Forgive my trespasses. Please, show me Your way, and assist me to follow it to the end in Jesus name, Amen_
TODAY’S TOPIC: Be you not afraid
Text: Matthew 17:1-7 (NIV):
"17:1. After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves.
17:2. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.
17:3. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
17:4. Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters--one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."
17:5. While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"
17:6. When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified.
17:7. But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be afraid."
SHOWER (Reflection):
At the beatitudes, the disciples became afraid. They were probably terrified because of what they saw, heard and also thinking about. A lot happens in our society that could make or mar our moods. But Jesus is telling us not to be afraid. Is it because of sickness, lacks or some other things? Do not be perturbed. God will do a new thing for you this season. Only hold unto Him with prayers and thanksgiving.
