My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Sheridan Voysey …  USE THIS LINK         referenced the majestic painting on the ceiling of the Great Banquet Hall in London, painted by Sir Peter Paul Rubens between 1629-1634 (See photo) and commissioned by King Charles I to commemorate the glory of his royal family.  But ironically, it became the inglorious place where King Charles was later executed in 1649.

And the ODB entry today made biblical reference in Isaiah 14 to what most scholars believe to be the description of the fall of Satan from God’s glory in heaven to the depths of earth (see Highlight Passage).  And having taken in the linked song and studied the shared Scriptures above today, it’s clear to me that any and all things I choose to do in my life should honor the glory and majesty of of our King Jesus.   Wouldn’t you agree; … and will you join me to make our lives a reflection of our Lord’s glory? 

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You …Lord, … for calling me to do all in my life as a reflection of Your Glory.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, … for charging all Your children to live to shine Your majesty and reflect Your glory to this world.   … Amen
