Mark 9:2-13

VERSE OF THE DAY: Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!"—Mark 9:7

This is the moment of Jesus' transfiguration before Peter, James & John. It's got a little bit of humor in it, in that the three questioned "what this 'rising from the dead' might mean." Often we question what God means by what He says, but often it's literal, right in your face. He says what He means, and He means what He says! Ask: Are you overthinking what God is telling you?

REFLECTION: Listen

• Peter, James, and John experienced the miraculous!
• The Glory of God showed up and God told them to listen to Jesus.
• Jesus is worth listening to!
• God doesn’t speak to PERFECT people.
• He speaks to people CLOSE to Him.

Q's: When was the last time you heard from God? Everyone hears from God differently. Where do you hear from Him? (In worship? In the Word? When it's quiet? In chaos?) What situation will you put yourself into today to be close to Jesus so you can hear from Him?
