Psalm 150:6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
This morning I was ministered to by a young child. His name is Sammy. Nobody knows that his worship was touching my heart. His mother gave him a makeup mirror and he began looking into it and began flipping it in his hands. As he began looking at the image in the glass, he realized that it was him he was looking at. As he kept looking at the reflection he began smiling and then it was replaced by joy and giggling. Then he laid the mirror down and began silently clapping and lifted it up again and laughed again. He placed it beside him and began clapping again. It was as if he was praising God for his very existence. I was thinking Godly thoughts about him. What a prescious gift. I wonder what plans and purposes God has for his life. He was fearfully and wonderfully made.
The gospels teach us that we should come to Christ with the simple faith of a child. The 2Corinthians passage teaches us that we are being transformed into the image of Christ from glory to glory. That means to me step by step. As I saw little Sammy looking in his mirror, I was thinking about when I look in the glass mirror at my home. May I see what this young child saw this morning, may I realize that I was made in the image of God and put my faith in knowing that He who began a good work in me will see it to completion until the day of Jesus Christ. May I also give praise to God for the very breath He gives me each morning and may I have the same joy Sammy has, just to know that I am in the Father's hands.
