Heartlight Daily Verse
by Phil Ware
January 6
1 Peter 1:13
Prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on
the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Thoughts on today's verse
When Jesus came the first time, he came to reveal God
(
John 1:18). As wonderful, powerful, and gracious as he was in his
earthly ministry, it did not fully reveal Jesus our Lord. Our hope is
tied to his return. When he comes this time, he won't come to reveal God,
but to reveal himself -- the conquering Lord, the Rider on the white
horse. Every knee will bow. And we will see him as he really and fully
is, Immanuel in power and grace. With this as our hope, we can be ready
for active service to our king as people who live their lives under his
leadership and control.
Prayer:
O Almighty God, I long for the day when I get to see Jesus face to
face coming with the angels in power. Until that time, fasten my heart in
hope to the glory Jesus will share with me on that day, and please
empower me to liv! e as one who knows that victory is mine in Jesus.
Jesus, through your powerful name I pray. Amen.'

The LORD your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.

Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV)
