Today's Verse - Galatians 4:19 (KJV)

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you...

—Galatians 4:19 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Paul had a clear goal for new followers of Jesus; he wanted Jesus to be formed in them. He wanted them to become fully mature in Christ (Colossians 1:28-29). He knew the Holy Spirit would help them in this process if they would focus their hearts on Jesus and seek to reflect Jesus' character in their lives (2 Corinthians 3:18). So, as we go through our daily activities, let's honor Paul's goal — let's invite Jesus to come to life in us and bring us to full maturity of his likeness.

My Prayer...​

Holy and Righteous God, may the presence of Jesus increase in me so I can display more of Jesus in my life. At the same time, dear Father, I want my attitude, behavior, and speech to escape the warped ways of our broken world. May this be true today, but even more, dear Father, may it be more clearly seen each day. In the name of my Savior and goal, Jesus, I pray. Amen.
