<My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Brent Hackett … AT THIS LINK     … wrote about the photography of Christian Spencer, publishing photos of hummingbirds in flight with the sun shining through their wings created a beautiful spectrum of color (see attached photo),  … which the ODB author believes gives viewers a glimpse of God’s glory.  .      

Personally, in taking in the linked song and the Scriptures shared above, I agree with the Apostle Paul, and am confident to follow God’s word and live to imitate Christ in my life, just as Paul did. And as we look around in creation, we see glimpses of God’s glory and the more we seek to follow Him thru His word, I believe we will reflect His glory in the way we live our lives. Are you with me?  Look around and let’s try to be reflections of God’s glory in the way we live for Him today.           

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for creating me to be a hint of Your glory by the way I live for You.

 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, … again Lord. … for creating us to be a part of Your glory.  … Amen
