"The heavens are telling
the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims His handiwork. Day to day pours
forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. There is no speech, nor are
there words; their voice is not heard; yet their voice goes out through all the
earth, and their words to the end of the world" (Psalm 19:1-4).
All the heavens and all the
earth are the work of Your hands. They are a manifestation of Your creativity
and an expression of Your desires. You thought; You spoke; and so they are. As
we see the beauty and intricacy and wisdom of what You have done, we see a
measure of who You are.
And so it is with us. The
things we do are an expression of who we are. The choices we make and what we
create is a manifestation of what comes from within. As You have said: "No good
tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit; for each tree
is known by its own fruit.... The good person out of the good treasures of the
heart produces good, and the evil person out of the evil treasure produces evil;
for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks" (Luke
6:43-46).
Lord, renew my mind and
cleanse my heart. Change me from the inside out to make me more like You each
day. Let the words I speak and the things I do come from a place that's
completely surrendered to You and being conformed to Your image (Romans 8:29).
Let my life be a good tree that bears good fruit.
I want the handiwork of my
hands and spheres of influence around me that I help shape to display Your
goodness and Your glory, because my heart and soul and are aligned with Yours. I
know I have far to go and I still fail far too often, but as best as I can and
all by Your grace, I entrust myself to You and Your plan for my life. In Jesus'
name I pray. Amen.
Be
encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
Tommy, may Your
life tell of the glory of God today, expressing what He has done in you and now
does through you. Even if you have to make difficult or painful choices, may you
live them out in such a way that honors God, despite the cirucmstances. Please
pray the same for me, my friend. God bless you!
