Scripture: Manifest your faithful love in amazing ways (Psalm 17)
Observation: Manifest means to .... display or show by one's acts or appearance! I believe David longed for God's love to be manifested in his life and in his earthly kingdom. David was a man after Gods own heart and despite his sin - he wanted the good work of God displayed in his life as an evidence and qualification for the good will of God towards him. By this he would know the gift of God's incredible grace.
Application: I often wonder why God chose to manifest his amazing love in me. John 15:16 says "You did not choose me but I chose you to go and bear fruit...." Just as God chose David to be King - he has chosen each of us to bear fruit in such a way that His Amazing Love will be displayed through our actions (Matthew 25) and through our appearance to those in need. We need to SHOW UP in the dark places that need light so God can manifest his love through us! We have to Show Up in our families, in our communities, in our circles of influence, in our world.....
Kneel: God, help us to lay aside our desire to be noticed and let you be noticed in us. Manifest your love in us - today and always! Amen.
