Morning Prayer for July 27
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
God’s Word
Christ, who is the image of God
Today’s takeaway: Jesus shows you exactly what God is like, and one day you will bear His image.
The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
He that hath seen me hath seen the Father
The brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person
God was manifest in the flesh
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature
Whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
Prayer
O God, no one has seen You at any time, but Your Son has made You known. Christ is Your image, the brightness of Your glory. Whoever has seen Him has seen You. You have predestined me to be conformed to His image. I have borne the image of the earthly; one day I will bear the image of the heavenly. Make me look a little more like Him today. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Pray as Jesus taught us
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Amen.
Blessing
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
