Contemplative Bible Reading

Matthew 17:4 (New Living Translation)

4 Peter exclaimed, “Lord, it’s wonderful for us to be here! If you want, I’ll make three shelters as memorials—one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”

Here is a simple statement for the ages. Peter and a couple of fellow followers of Jesus are standing in the presence of Jesus. And Peter says it, “it’s wonderful for us to be here.”

Well, I can say this everyday. I can say this every minute of every hour of every day. I believe that God is everywhere all the time. Hence, I am in the presence of God every minute of every hour of every day.

Lord, it’s wonderful for me to be here!

Let’s all remember this and say this. Please God, help me in my unbelief.
