Today's Bible reading is the 9th chapter of the Book of Mark. You can read it here at Bible Gateway: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+9&version=NASB

The 9th chapter of Mark begins with Mark's account of the transfiguration of Jesus that took place as Peter, James and John were gazed on. They were the only invited guest to witness this event. Matthew and Luke also record this event in their Gospel accounts. As you may recall, Jesus is transfigured before the three apostles and Moses and Elijah also appear, both of them talking with Jesus. During the transfiguration Jesus' garments are described as being "radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them." This statement reminds me, that as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, I stand before God clothed in the righteousness of Christ, a righteousness that far surpasses and cannot be attained by any plan or device of man on earth. During the transfiguration, the scripture tells us that a voice came out of a cloud saying, “This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!” These are clearly words spoken by the Father, the God of all creation. Oh, how our lives would be ever changing if we would daily, "Listen to Him."
