My Journal for Today: Today’s Our Daily Bread devotional entry, authored by Marion Stroud, brought an encouraging reminder to me today. It was encouraging to me because, through the image I sought out, the song, sung by Michael Card, to which I’ve linked my readers today, and the Scriptures which bubbled to the surface of my study today, I realized that I am here in this place today - and you’ll find me here in God’s word daily - to build an every stronger foundation for my relationship with Christ, … Who is my Cornerstone and His word the foundation of my life.
So, if you’ve taken in the attached photo and listened to the linked hymn and meditated upon the Scriptures linked and copied here today, I don’t need to add any punch lines of motivation, do I? It’s all clear that all Christians need to do diligence to building God’s temple, … i.e., our bodies, minds, and spirits … on the solid rock of our Lord and His word.
I leave it to you to build your faith temple today.
My Prayer for Today … Lord, … It’s on You that I build my life. … Amen
