A most interesting time while putting my make-up on this morning. My eyes fell on the words, “positively radiant.” My first thought, that is what Jesus is too me. Then as I went through the L-O-N-G process of making myself presentable, I started noting other words describing the characteristics of our Savior, written on items at my make-up table:
Cleanses
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Shield
Psalm 91:4 He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.
Restore
Psalm 23:3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Youthful
2 Timothy 2:22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
Dark Spot Remover
Romans 5:8-9 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him.
Long Lasting
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Foundation
Psalm 102:25 Of old You laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
Advanced Therapy
Matthew 9:35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Effective
James 5:16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Gentle
Psalm 18:35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great.
Strong Holding
2 Timothy 2:1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
Men, do not despair by this conversation about “products of beauty.” I see that Shaquille O’Neal is advertising a new line of moisturizing protection for strong men. Look for your keywords today too. They are everywhere!
Thought For Today:
Look for Jesus today. You will find Him in the most interesting places!
Scripture For Today:
Proverbs 8:35
35 For whoever finds me finds life,
And obtains favor from the LORD;
Prayer For Today:
Hello Father! Thank you for the keywords that lead us to your wisdom and truth! Help us look for little one word sticky notes all over our world that lead us to seek your Holy scriptures. Thank you for invading our lives with abundant love and joy! Help each of us go out and deliver that love to others. In Jesus’ name we pray.
One of your best, Kathy. I’m claiming the word “foundation,” because that’s what Jesus is in my life. I get sidetracked, but I know He is always at the core of my being!
Thank you! I immediately related to the “dark spot remover.” Without His grace, not sure where I would be now.
