Psalm 80 - Let Your face shine, that we may be saved! When those around us scoff at our faith it is tempting to want to show them our glory or goodness. But the psalmist here cries out for God to reveal Himself. This is the only way enemies are silenced and even changed into children of God.
Deuteronomy 18:1-22 - The Levites are set apart for God even with the people of Israel who have been set apart for God. Do you think this caused any envy for those who were not Levites?
Matthew 14:22-46 - Usually when people talk about this passage, a lot of emphasis is placed on Peter's action and his lack of faith. But even before we get to his part we should pause and consider the glory and awe that Jesus reveals in this passage. Notice how the disciples are terrified of him. It is similar to the fear and trembling caused by God when He reveals His glory to people in the Old Testament. In these few verses we see Jesus' glory and then his word of peace.
