My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Winn Collier - AT THIS LINK - wrote about the satellite view of the so called “Church Forrests” in Ethiopian (see photo), which is illustrative of God providing man’s needs, even in the midst of being in the deserts of this world. To read more about these oases in Ethiopia, USE THIS LINK to read the Wikipedia description.
And if my readers have taken in the linked song and meditated on the Scriptures provided, I’m praying we all recognize and believe that God will ultimately and eternally provide EVERYTHING we need as faithful followers of God’s will and His ways for us as stewards of God’s provision. How’re we doing, my friend? Personally I think we could do better in being God’s chosen stewards of His creation!!
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, …for providing all I need.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me today, … to do all we can as we try to be good stewards of Your creation, Lord. … Amen
