Scripture: Luke 9:28-36
God's glory often exceeds what we see. We can become so focused on our own struggles that we become blind to what God is doing in our lives. The disciples faced this as well, when they expected a conquering king, but instead encountered a humble carpenter. Jesus went through a transfiguration to reveal to the disciples that He was indeed the Son of God. Had He appeared as a king, He would not have fulfilled His most important mission, being sacrificed on the cross for our sins. Similarly, God's work in our lives may not be obvious or flashy, but He is always at work. By listening and trusting in His words, we can align ourselves with His much greater, and more beautiful, purpose.
