TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
When you reflect something, you are exhibiting its likeness. You are
displaying its characteristics. Like a mirror, the Bible tells us that
we should reflect the character and likeness of Jesus. We should have
His same attitude.
That may sound like a pretty tall order;
after all, Jesus was the Son of God. But remember, when we accept Him as
our Lord and Savior, we become sons and
daughters of the Most High God, too. We become empowered by the same
Spirit that raised Christ from the dead. That means we have the same
spirit of humility, the same strength, the same love, the same power on
the inside. We are empowered to follow His example and do what He did.
When Jesus walked the earth, the scripture says He went around doing
good and bringing healing to others physically, spiritually and
emotionally. That’s what we should be doing, too.
Notice this
verse starts by saying, “Let...” In other words, we have to invite God
into our attitude and actions. Choose today to invite Him to work in
you. Reflect Him in your attitude and actions, bring good to others, and
reap an abundant harvest of blessing in every area of your life.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, I invite You to dwell in my thoughts, heart and attitude. I
choose to follow Your example and bring good to others. Help me to be a
pure reflection of Your love in everything I do in Jesus’ name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
