My Devotional Journal: Today’s  Our Daily Bread Author , Kirsten Holmberg  AT THIS LINK -  writes of encouraging and developing group leaders in a discipleship ministry and often being surprised at how, when group members where challenged to lead, … feeling honored to be asked, rather thank finding excuses not to participate in leadership.     

However, if any of my readers have taken in the linked song by Mercy Me and meditated on the Scriptures above, I would hope - and pray - that we all realize and believe that giving back our praise and worship of God is really all we can do to honor our Lord for all He has done in our lives.  And will you join me in give our thanks and praise to God today … and again tomorrow?                                                                                             

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for all You are in providing for all I am.                                                               

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, …to praise and thank You, Lord, for all You’ve given us so that we can live for You.   … Amen .
