About eight days after Jesus said this, He took Peter, John and James with Him and went up onto a mountain to pray. As He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, taking with Jesus. They spoke about His departure, which He was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him. As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to Him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters-one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what he was saying.)
While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to Him.” When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. The disciples kept this to themselves and did not tell anyone at that time what they had seen.

Listen to Him. We hear a lot of voices and opinions every single day. Some of which would say they love Jesus. But at the end of the day, for your life and relationship with Jesus, He is the only one to listen to. Whatever He says is what we do. Wherever He send is where we go. We can’t listen to any other outside voice. We can seek advice and opinions from those we trust, but then we must determine if it contradicts Him…and if it does, we can’t lean into it. Open your ears to hear what HE says today.
