My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author , Bill Crowder  AT THIS LINK , writes the extent of the love that  the famous piano duo Ferrante and Teacher had to play music together (see photo) and how their love for the music played out in their concerts and their lives as friends.  

And the ODB author went on to describe another musician and his love of God expressed in the Psalms where King David described in Song (see Psalms 18 highlighted above) how his love for God and his faith in God’s love worked itself out in God being David’s strength in times of peril or danger. And this raises the question if we hold that kind of everlasting love for the Lord as He, … our God … holds for us?   I pray we do!!                                                                                            

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for Your everlasting … eternal … Love.                                                               

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, …to sing our praises to You, Lord, for Your eternal love.    … Amen .
