Wait, Watch, Worship: A Lent DevotionalSample

Wonder (from earth to glory)

Friday ­– 30 days before Easter

Matthew 17:1-9

As you read today about Jesus’ transfiguration, focus on these two things:

First, the voice of God saying,

“This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy. Listen to him.”

Second, the voice of Jesus saying,

“Do not be afraid.”

These two voices speak to us today, reassuring us of the Father’s plans and the Son’s presence. How do you make space in your life to hear God’s voice? What things in your life cause you to miss God’s voice? Remember that Jesus is our fully divine Lord and King who, when we are overwhelmed by the power, majesty, glory, and wonder of God, reaches out to gently touch us and say to us,

“I am here, do not be afraid.”
