SEE JESUS

Keep your Creator in mind while you are young! In years to come, you will be burdened down with troubles and say, “I don’t enjoy life anymore.” ~ Ecclesiastes 12:1 (CEV)

Philip went and found Nathanael and told him, “We’ve found the One Moses wrote of in the Law, the One preached by the prophets. It’s Jesus, Joseph’s son, the one from Nazareth!” Nathanael said, “Nazareth? You’ve got to be kidding.”

But Philip said, “Come, see for yourself.”
~ John 1:45-46 (MSG)

SUMMARY SENTENCE
See for yourself. Look to Jesus.

PRAYER
Lord, I've been looking in all the wrong places. Since the days of my youth, I've expected to find meaning in places of power and glory. But when you came into the world, you made your way through "no account" Nazareth. Forgive me for all the times I've looked down on people or places. Open my eyes to see you. Amen. (Daily Texts, Mount Carmel Ministies edition)
