Reading: Numbers 34-36 and 2 Corinthians 3

Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:2-3, You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Thoughts: Back in the day people would get a career and do that career their entire life then retire. Today we are constantly looking for the next job and looking for the recommendation from someone that will get you to the next step up where you can make more or move up or move into the next job. We are God’s handywork and He is continually working on us and we are to be that recommendation to the world around us. Are we shining his glory into this world showing to all who will see and listen to the recommendation letter of God or are we hiding it away? I’m reminded of the old kid song, “This Little Light of Mine” are we letting that little light shine or are we hiding it in or under something because of fear or past hurt?

Prayer: Father, you are the Light in the darkness and the hope when it looks bleak, you are the joy in the midst of sorrow and pain. Your glory shines in this would though us and I thank you that you give us the opportunity to be that light. I thank you For the provisions and blessings that you are pouring out upon us every day I that you that you take care of all our needs and bring those into our lives that we need. Help me to step out into your love and speak your love into the world.
