My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author , Jennifer Benson Schuldt  AT THIS LINK  tells of the remarkable whispering wall inside New York’s Grand Central Station (see photo)  where one person can stand in a certain place and whisper a comment whixh can be heard over 30 feet across the station by another, even in all the noise of the station. 

And as God declares, thru Job and the other Scriptures above, whispering of His glorious and omnipotent power thru the creation we see around us every day.  The question is do we see and do we hear God’s whisper of His glory as we look around us to behold His glory in what He has created.  So, look around with me here today and see His glory; … listen and hear of His power, available to us who faithfully follow the Lord and His truth, declared thru His word.                                                                                                   

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for showing me Your glory thru Your creation.  

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