My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Monica La Rose… AT THIS LINK …   Illustrates God’s protecive grace and strength by her observation of motherly Canadian geese who fiercely protect their young just as our God protects those who believe in and follow Him.     

Have any of you, who read with me here, experienced the grace of God, watching over you as a mother bird might spread its wings to protect its young (like the mother bird in the photo)   I sure have!!  … Early after I surrendered my atheist past to follow Christ, His church took me under its wings and showered me with God’s love. discipling me to grow and become stronger thru God’s word.  Oh, how I pray you have - and are - experiencing God’s protection and His enabling grace. If not, run to Him today to shelter yourself under His wings.

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me shelter and strength as I follow You, Lord, to glory.                                                

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to run to You, Lord, for the wings of Your protection.
