My Devotional JournalToday's Our Daily Bread author, Dave Brandon … AT THIS LINK  writes about an asteroid hurtling thru space that has been discovered to have trillions and trillions of dollars worth of natural resources like gold, iron, and platinum … if these resources were found and mined.    


But we have a resource far more valuable to our lives than that asteroid; and that, of course, for believers in Christ, is what our Lord can - and will - provide for believers who are willing to pursue all we need in this life from our God.  The question from this ODB entry today, … for me,  … is, am I doing all I  can to seek out and glean God’s wisdom and unlimited resources?  


But I know where I can find these eternal resources; and that’s why you find be here daily, digging deeply into God’s infinite wisdom and the wealth of knowledge thru God’s word.  And I Invite other miners to come along with me here daily to seek out God’s wealth, supplying all we need, . everyday!    


My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for providing me with all I need from Your word. 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, …  to seek out all our needs from Your eternal resources, Lord.   … Amen
