My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Lisa M Samra … AT THIS LINK … writes about the annual playing of Handel’s glorious oratorio, The Messiah, with most of the lyrics coming from God’s Revelation to John in our Bible, …. which gives believers the hope of glory we, who have surrendered our hope to the Lord, will have in Heaven.      

In the linked song, my readers will hear where David Crowder and Tauren Wells put their eternal hope; and the Scriptures above attest to the reality of what our hope, as Christians, will be like thru our faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.  

And oh how I pray that all reading here have that same hope to hold onto when we face the trials of this day or tomorrow.  I do!! … Do you?!

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, …  to trust in the hope of Heaven we have, Lord, in the relationship we have with You.     .… Amen
