Bible Reading

Mark 9:2-9

Six days later Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and led them up a high mountain, where they were alone. As they looked on, a change came over Jesus, and his clothes became shining white—whiter than anyone in the world could wash them. Then the three disciples saw Elijah and Moses talking with Jesus. Peter spoke up and said to Jesus, “Teacher, how good it is that we are here! We will make three tents, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” He and the others were so frightened that he did not know what to say.

Then a cloud appeared and covered them with its shadow, and a voice came from the cloud, “This is my own dear Son—listen to him!” They took a quick look around but did not see anyone else; only Jesus was with them.

As they came down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has risen from death.”

Explanation

WOW!  That’s what I think off when I read this week’s bible passage. I wonder if that is what Peter, James and John thought. They certainly were surprised by what happened up that mountain.

Perhaps it was only later when they were able to think about what happened that they began to understand how special it was, they had heard the voice of God!

 What an incredible moment they had been part off. It certainly was a WOW moment. 

Sometimes the events and things that make me go WOW are when I watch a nature programme, or see a sunset in the evening or snow falling.

This week see if you can capture some WOW moments, it might be that they remind you of how awesome our God is.  

Perhaps you could take a picture, or write a prayer of thanks about it.

Prayer

Awesome God, thank you for the WOW moments. 
Help me to take time to give thanks and enjoy them. 
Amen.
