My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Lisa M Samoa … AT THIS LINK … uses the image of the Shamrock, which Irish Christians have used for centuries to illustrate knowing our Triune God as three-in-one - our Triune God.
God’s word never uses the term “TRINITY,” … but often, God’s truth describes the triune essence of our God (see scriptures above); and charges all Christians to know all persons of the God-Head and to revel in the greatness of our Triune Lord as Chris Tomlin sings in the linked song. And oh how I pray that all reading with me here know all three Persons of our God, and revel in His “three-in-One” reality.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for expressing all of Whom You are thru Your word and in my life.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to revel in Your triune presence, Lord, … in and thru our lives today. … Amen
