Here are my reflections and comments from today’s scripture from Our Daily Inspirations App.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, before I read or comment on God’s word, I pray that He prepares my heart to receive his guidance and ask that He uses me as his vessel to comment on His word. If you want to leave comments or feedback, you can email jp0870584@gmail.com. For me for me I see God in everything. God bless you.
The scripture is from Matthew 5:8: “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”
The devotion is titled Seeing God Every Day by Darla Noble. The author says that when people read the beatitudes (Matthew 5), they focus on the cost rather than the reward. Today’s verse, being “pure in heart” isn’t about being perfect. It is about seeing God every day, everywhere you look. She concludes that the pure on heart are truly blessed; they see God.
Reflections, Questions, and Challenges for Us: Where do you see God? Take the time today to write down all the things that show you who God is.
Here is my response, yours may be different: For me, I see God in everything. My favorite time is in the mornings. I see the sunrise. I smell the fresh morning air. I feel the cool crisp air. I hear birds chirping. I taste a cup of fresh brewed coffee.
A Personal Prayer for us: Dear God, please make us pure in heart. We ask that You open our eyes and the eyes of our hearts to see You everywhere we look. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
