We often see or expect God only in the burning bush or the spectacular moment. What if God (and life) are both extraordinary AND ordinary?

As we begin to wrap up our week on Jesus's High Priestly prayer, today we look at what it means to reflect God's glory. How could man ever look like God? In our broken, fallen state, can we ever reflect his glory? Let's find out as we explore God's heart and intention behind filling us with his Holy Spirit and giving us his new nature. May your heart and mind be open to God's truth and will for your life today as we seek him together.   Our Scripture for today comes from John 17:22-24, and today's worship is You Came (Lazarus) by Bethel Music, Jonathan David Helser, Melissa Helser.       Thank you for listening to today's devotional.  Has this podcast been a blessing to you?

Get into the habit of saying, “Speak, Lord,” and life will become a romance. (1 Samuel 3:9) – Oswald Chambers  Friends, Jonathan David Helser teaches, “In the Garden, it all began with a kiss. God's first moment with us is…messy." And though we started out as dirt in the cherishing hands of the Trinity, our God invites us into more. Over a lifetime of maturing, we are intended to become the children, the friends, and, finally, the lovers of God. The Helsers have consented for decades to the movement and invitation of God in their lives.  It hasn't been easy.  It hasn't been cheap.  It hasn't been quick. But through them, God is blazing a path for generations of disciples to become the friends and lovers of God.  In time and over time, they've practiced trusting the affection of God rather than trusting their gifting. A thousand times a thousand, they've chosen to receive and rest in the bottom-line reality that God's love is better than life itself—and they're inviting us to do the same.  Come along into Part 3 of this series as we follow the Helsers on the path and process of becoming the sons, daughters, and lovers of God.  For the Kingdom, Morgan "I will take delight in you. As a groom rejoices over his bride, so will I rejoice over you." – Isaiah 62

Today we continue our week long focus on the Holy Spirit by exploring what it means for us to grow in friendship with him. We'll never have a kinder, more present friend than the God who dwells within us.

It's a beautiful reminder of the same truth that our LOUD song is also about: We belong to a God who holds us in His love.Go back to the list of Daily Prayer and you will see the LOUD one in the list (it's got the same cover artwork).Enjoy!

We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. Psalm 9:9-20 9 The Lord will be a refuge for the oppressed, * a refuge in time of trouble. 10 Those who know your Name will put their trust in you, * for you never forsake those who seek you, O Lord. 11 Sing praise to the Lord who dwells in Zion; * proclaim to the peoples the things he has done. 12 The Avenger of blood will remember them; * he will not forget the cry of the afflicted. 13 Have pity on me, O Lord; * see the misery I suffer from those who hate me, O you who lift me up from the gate of death; 14 So that I may tell of all your praises and rejoice in your salvation * in the gates of the city of Zion. 15 The ungodly have fallen into the pit they dug, * and in the snare they set is their own foot caught. 16 The Lord is known by his acts of justice; * the wicked are trapped in the works of their own hands. 17 The wicked shall be given over to the grave, * and also all the peoples that forget God. 18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten, * and the hope of the poor shall not perish for ever. 19 Rise up, O Lord, let not the ungodly have the upper hand; * let them be judged before you. 20 Put fear upon them, O Lord; * let the ungodly know they are but mortal. Mark 4:35-41 (NRSV) On that day, when evening had come, Jesus said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” And leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other boats were with him. A great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm. He said to them, “Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?” And they were filled with great awe and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” The Apostles' Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and eart --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/prayerandworship/message
