Lent Devotion for Thursday, February 19, 2026 

Read: Luke 9:28-32

Don’t forget the obvious here; Jesus takes Peter, James, and John up the mountain to pray.  Sometimes we focus on the brilliant light of the transfiguration and the sight of Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus about his bringing fulfillment of the Law and the prophecy of the coming messiah.  It is important to remember, the original point of this journey up the mountain was to pray.  It is during this time of prayer that Jesus, glory is fully revealed to Peter, James, and John. 

I encourage you to pray and consider the times God has revealed His glory to you in great ways and in small, quiet, private ways as well during and immediately following times of prayer.
