Dear friends,

As we come to the close of another work week, the seasons have
changed once again, and we draw ever nearer to the season of the
year in which we remember events that were both horrible and
wonderful - the persecution, suffering, and death of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ, but then His triumph: rising again from the
dead, thereby conquering the power of both sin and death, and
making that power available to each of us.

Today's message talks about the transfiguration of Jesus Christ.
This happened while Jesus was still alive, and it gave those
watching a first hand glimpse of Jesus' nature as God in the
flesh. On one hand, those who saw it were completely amazed, but
they still did not grasp the full ramifications of it all. Read
today's message, and perhaps we, having the benefit of God's
Word, can grasp at least some of it, if we are willing to read,
trust, and believe.

May God bless each of us as we seek to serve God and our fellow
brothers and sisters in our families and communities.

Your Brother in Christ,
Brian

Q U I E T W A L K D E V O T I O N A L
by Walk Thru the Bible

March 21

Mark 9
Jesus is transfigured as a validation of His identity as the
Deity and Messiah.

INSIGHT
The Transfiguration gives us an exciting glimpse into our
resurrection life. From it, we may learn several things. Our
physical bodies may be startlingly brilliant and beautiful, as
we witness the amazing appearance of Jesus, Moses, and Elijah.
We may know each other automatically since the disciples seemed
to recognize Moses and Elijah without instruction. We apparently
will not be subject to the physical limitations of nature since
Moses and Elijah appeared and disappeared. What a joy awaits us
in eternity!

PRAYER
Use this passage of Scripture to offer your praise to the Lord,
who transforms us into the image of Christ:
I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together(Psalm 34:1-3).

As you seek to keep your life free from sin, pray this
confession to the Lord:
O Lord, I know the way of man is not in himself;
It is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.
O Lord, correct me, but with justice;
Not in Your anger, lest You bring me to
nothing (Jeremiah 10:23-24).

Confess any sins that the Holy Spirit brings to your mind.

Now pause to pray this passage of affirmation:
Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
There is no searching of His understanding.
He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might
He increases strength (Isaiah 40:28-29).

As you make your requests known to the Lord, pray for:
greater wisdom in decision making,
your activities for the day,
whatever else is on your heart.

Finally, offer this closing prayer:
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone
is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen (1 Timothy
1:17).
