And if my readers have taken in the linked song and mediated on the Scriptures shared above, I’m praying that that you all are feeling convicted - as am I - to shore up our hearts as God’s tabernacle in our lives; … because our hearts are most definitely the Temple of our lives, .. THE place we worship our Lord with all we think, say, and do.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying today that those who read with me here will join me to build or rebuild our lives to worship You, Lord.. … Amen
