The Eternal Word has leapt from heaven and woven itself into time. It is ready to be stitched into your life’s fabric, stretching you beyond the limits of time, back into eternity, completing the circle.

As you hold your Bible and inwardly hear the Word today, the Holy Spirit is active right now. Peter confesses this, finding the validity of the Word in the Transfiguration experience of Christ, which he witnessed.

What are those life experiences that are the grounding points for your own faith? These are moments of Transfiguration. Yet we are to be as Peter who could not stay on that mountain, but had to rediscover the Word transfigured in the walk down the mountain into the “valley of the shadow of death” upon the cross.

Tap here for a video-mediation on Psalm 105.

The first fifteen verses of this psalm are found in the song of David in 1 Chronicles 16:8–22 when the Ark of the Covenant was brought to Jerusalem. The Ark was the symbol of God’s redemptive presence to God’s people. David gathers into song, the promises that God made to Abraham, fulfilled in the Promised Land. We are the Lord’s cherished recipients of these same promises—even greater ones in Jesus.

You could compose a song about your personal history. Ask the Holy Spirit to have you feel the fingers of God’s love fashioning your own story of redemption. Epiphany light shines in your darkness powered by God’s grace.

As you read the promises that punctuate this psalm, how are they fulfilled personally in your own life?

When we remove the Word from life, all hell breaks out. First, come the gentle tugs of seduction in all its forms. The Evil One preys upon us, seeking to put some distraction between us and God’s presence to us in the Word. The poetry of this chapter is designed to shock those being seduced into an awakening to the danger.

If you do not cling to the Lord, then sin will cling to you. Spend some time today taking inventory of those persons, places or things to which you are attached—and they to you. Plunge into God’s saving presence, asking for the gift of detachment from everything so that you can attach yourself to the Lord and what God offers. PRAY when being preyed upon!
