My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Elisa Morgan … AT THIS LINK … related how the ODB author was on the Board of Trustees for a Christian Seminary, who were given the task of coming up with the factors and qualifications for a new President for the school; and they came to the realization that it was going to take a highly gifted leader, chosen by God, to carry out the tasks God has called this person to accomplish.
And that was what the linked song and all the Scriptures shared above bring out from God’s word, especially the Highlight Passage, which showed how God had chosen and gifted specially chosen people to build the Tabernacle that Moses was charged to build for God’s residence and work with His newly freed people. Do we realize, as God’s word above points out, that we are God’s chosen ones to build His kingdom. I pray that we all choose to use His gifting (see Photo) for His glory. I’m in for that; … how about you?
My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for giving me what I need to do Your work thru my life, Lord.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, … again Lord. …for calling us to use Your gifting for Your glory as we, Your chosen, work for You in Your kingdom. … Amen
