TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory…
In this season of celebration and anticipation of a new year, a lot of reflection on what the year has been can easily go wrong. The ‘I should’ve done this’ or ‘I missed that opportunity’ lines start to gather in one’s mind. So it’s easy to look at yourself and not see what God says you are. A lot of Christians are guilt ridden having to complete another year with mediocrity still plaguing them.
You may say “What’s really there to celebrate? Life has been so difficult.” When you think or talk like that, you’re going in the wrong direction. Stop looking at circumstances; look at the Word.
The scripture reminds us that we ought to move from one level of glory to another. The image of your life has to be more like what God says about it not what you see around you or what others say about you. The more you look into the word, the more you become it, it should be like a reflection in the mirror.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I shall grow more spiritually than I’ve ever done. Everyday I spend in the word I begin to look more and more like it. My life shall become exactly what the word says it should be. I am blessed beyond measure hallelujah!
