My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Jennifer Benson Schuldt … AT THIS LINK …  describes an international research team trying to design a drone which could mimic the flight of a swift (see photo), a high-flying bird in nature.   However, all the efforts of the research team would fall short of the incredible natural design of the natural design of the swift.   

And I pray that all my fellow Christians, reading with me here today, look around and see the glory of God reflected in and on display in what our Lord has created.  So, my friends, … take time today to revel in and praise God for what He has created for all of us.  We may try to recreate God’s work; but His creation will always be greater than what we can create to mimic His glory.  

      

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for showing off for me everyday in Your creation.                         

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to look around and see Your glory in creation, Lord.    … Amen
