My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Adam Holz … AT THIS LINK … tells of the 50+ year project to restore the Giorgio Vasari masterpiece, The Last Supper from flood damage in 1966 (see photo).
But that restoration project - as arduous and miraculous it was - pales by comparison to the restoration that God has completed in the restoration our God has brought about when God’s Son died on the cross and was resurrected to defeat the plans of Satan as our Lord defeated death and restored His chosen and faithful remnant to eternal life and God’s ultimate glory.
So, I pray that all my restored fellow Christian readers will join me to praise our Lord today for His truly wondrous restoring grace.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to thank You, Lord, for restoring all of us who believe in You as Lord and Savior. … AMEN
