1 Chronicles 16:24 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

The Art of God

For an artist, there's a true honor and joy in showcasing their work. Others are able to witness the creativity and craftsmanship of the artist while being captivated by the story behind their artwork.

In 1 Chronicles 16:24, the writer calls God’s people to display God’s greatness among all nations, showcasing His marvelous deeds for others to witness and come to know this divine artist—God, the creator of the universe.

Each day is an opportunity for us, as God’s people, to showcase God’s glory through our words and actions. And just as artwork captivates distant onlookers, our lives should draw others in to witness and experience God and His story of redemption. Ephesians 2:10 says, “We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.”

So, consider these three ways you can embrace the call to display God’s glory as you engage the world around you:

  • Celebrate His Glory: We should seek to celebrate others' (and our own) unique gifts, experiences, and abilities because it offers us a glimpse into the multifaceted nature of God's creativity.
  • Reflect His Glory: We should seek to reflect God’s attributes of love, kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and justice.
  • Share His Glory: We should actively use our God-given gifts to share the message of God's love and salvation with others.

In a world desperate for hope, we have the true joy and honor of showcasing God’s glory as a part of His story of redemption.

Psalm 3:3 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

Our Shield and Warrior

One of the primary images of God in the Old Testament is that of God as Warrior. All throughout Scripture, God is frequently going to battle for His people or standing with them in the midst of difficulty—protecting them from harm.

Scripture tells us that God does not idly stand aside and watch His children fight alone. He's a warrior—our Warrior—who's actively protecting His people.

This is why the writer of Psalm 3 calls God a Shield that surrounds him. God is not distant—He is present and active in our lives. Even though we may experience pain and suffering, we can go to God for help and safety. He knows how to protect us, and fight for us.

The writer of this Psalm also says that God is the One who lifts our heads in the midst of difficulty. It can be easy to become discouraged or tired in the middle of hard times. But even in those moments, God supports us.

When we come to God as our Shield, He not only protects us, but He also gives us hope and peace. He ...
