Video of the Day: Clip from the 1992 movie “Beethoven”
Bible Verse of the Day:
For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account, Hebrews 4:12-13.
Biblical Connection:
Today’s scene involves an egocentric baby sister seeking to impress the two oldest children with her musical talents. This self-centeredness allows the longest to wander outside. Meanwhile, Beethoven has a God given sense that something is about to happen. As Beethoven saves the day, this woman wants to keep this event as a secret from their parents.
The author of Hebrews lays out that nothing is hidden from God. While human beings seek to hide addictions, bad habits and unwholesome practices from others, God sees everything. From the spiritual realm, the Bible is a living word which convicts souls of deeds done in darkness. Therefore, the next time you find yourself consumed by self-interests, pray the words of the apostle Paul in 1 Timothy 1:15 so that as you draw near to God and flee evil practices.
Closing Song:
The lyrics of Therapy remind me of Jesus’ daily routine in Mark 1:35. When people start to slow down, your heart will open to spending time with God in silence. May making time for God inspire you to become more thankful this fall.
