Change

This will be a life changing week for me. Undergoing a Bariatric procedure on Wednesday. Planning on reducing by 140 pounds. Pray for endurance and understand as my relationship with food is recreated.

S.       2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking with Jesus.5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any more, save Jesus only with themselves.9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead.10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean.

O.      Three disciple witness Jesus transfigured and visiting with Moses and Elias. Since these two prophets were long dead, the disciples were not able to understand this experience. Jesus gave instructions for the disciples to keep silent about this experience and that they would understand the meaning at a later date.

A.      I must trust God and obey God even when I don’t have good understanding of what he is doing. This is a high level of faith and comes through prayer and fasting. I am a limited being, serving a un-limited God.

P.       Father; give me more faith as I surrender to your perfect will for my life. Use me in any way you see fit. Amen.
