My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Nancy Gavilanes -  AT THIS LINK  -  told of two friends who were 80+ year old grandmothers and close friends who decided to travel the world into 23 countries across the globe to show an older generation that age should not limit them in the pursuit of their dreams.   

And I admire these grandmothers for their fortitude and ambition; but what I think the ODB entry shows, even more, is what is behind all the Scriptures shared above which say to us … that our God is faithful to carry out His covenant promises to all Who obey and follow Him, .. no matter what our age or status in life might be.  But the main question is … DO WE BELIEVE our God is faithful to His promises. … I do; … do you?         

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for Your faithfulness … ALWAYS!!  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying today that those who read with me here will join me to move ahead in life, knowing that You’re always faithful to Your promises, Lord.  …   Amen
