The Reveal

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Luke 2:25-35

The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. —Isaiah 40:5

The room was a wreck. Mismatched furniture. Faded paint. Ugly light fixtures. Knick-knacks crammed into crowded spaces. The homeowners tried to make some improvements, but the room kept getting worse.

Thus begins a home-improvement TV program. After interviewing the owners, the designer draws a plan to maximize the room’s potential. Program producers create suspense by building up to a moment referred to as “the reveal.” Viewers watch the progress and ooh and aah with the homeowners when they see the new room.

Over time, the world has become like a neglected room. People bring in things that don’t belong. They arrange priorities in ways that hinder potential. Lives become dull, overcrowded, and ineffective. Self-improvement projects offer little help.

The Bible is God’s plan that shows the best way to live. God builds suspense throughout the Old Testament. Then, at the appointed time, comes the great reveal—Jesus! Upon seeing Him, Simeon exclaimed, “My eyes have seen Your salvation . . . , a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel” (Luke 2:30-32).

We become part of God’s great “reveal” when we follow His design and Christ’s example.

O send Thy Spirit, Lord, now unto me
That He may touch my eyes and make me see;
Show me the truth concealed within Thy Word,
And in Thy Book revealed I see Thee, Lord. —Lathbury

All that I am I owe to Jesus Christ, revealed to me in His divine Book.
Bible in One Year: Job 20-21; Acts 10:24-48

~~Sweet Summer Day~~

[Jane Austen]

Love it!

With all that is going on, I have been in no mood to go on the Internet.

[fewz]

Ms Jaycee was sorry to hear about your car but I’m glad that you fared better than it did. Any new pains this morning?

[Majie Purple]

& that’s a sweet summer pic!

[dutchess]

Happy July everyone. Where does the time go????

All's well here. Giz has shown remarkable improvement. Still walks with a "gimp" but the back legs have improved to the point that he follows us everywhere. Can no longer "sit up" to beg for treats so instead he "howls" and stares at us until we give in.

SusieQ is well...Susie. 2 speeds, hyper or crashed.

We've been busy with jobs and yard work (and trying to ignore the political climate...very scarry)

((((hugs)))) all around

"Well, girls, we did it!
We put together the best July 4th picnic this town's ever seen!

[yorkie]

What a darling picture! Thank you, ML!

[jaycee]

Thanks fewz! I have a few aches and pains this morning and may still go to doctor in the morning. Today its just nerves and insurance folks calling on phone. Those phone calls bother me a lot!

[jaycee]

Such a sweet picture and cutesy little poem this morning. Sure do wish I felt sweet and cutesy! Been on phone with all sorts of insurance people and that is what absolutely drives me crazy! Sometimes I feel like my whole body is shaking. It will get better, I hope. I may not be on much today as I have to take care of several things. See ya’ll when I can!

[jaycee]

Nice graphic yorkie! Thats the way things once were, I guess, don’t you? I don’t think I will be on the thread much today...too much to take care of!!

[litehaus]

That pic could be ‘Crooked Creek’ near Salem, Mo.....Memories....
