“Six days later Jesus took Peter and the two brothers, James and John, and led them up a high mountain to be alone. As the men watched, Jesus’ appearance was transformed so that his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light. Suddenly, Moses and Elijah appeared and began talking with Jesus.”  Matthew 17:1-3  NLT


I am always looking for photo opportunities to capture moments with Famous. We might be at a scenic location, or on a road trip, or just chilling around the house. These photos will remind me of what I was experiencing both on the outside and the inside. I will remember the light, or the wind, or the smell. And I will also remember the joy, the wonder, and the fun.

Wouldn’t this have been a great photo “op” for Peter, James and John! No doubt they would never encounter any difficulty remembering what happened to them that day. They would remain forever changed knowing that God was with them and would give them strength during all which would later happen to them in their lives.

Today, nearly everyone carries a camera phone in their pockets. Making memories seems to have become very easy. But have you tried taking a photo of God recently? It may or may not work so well with a smart phone, but the moments when God is present should be remembered by taking the time to let the experience become part of our long-term memories. Perhaps you can recall the moment from a dream, a conversation, or a worship service. When you know God is there, take a picture in your mind so that it will be useful during the future challenges.


Show me the moments today, God, that will be helpful on my path in service to You.
