My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Tom Felton -  AT THIS LINK  -   told of a flight passenger who waited patiently for over 18 hours to board a flight which was delayed; and when the patent passenger boarded, he was the ONLY passenger who had waited on the flight; and when he was on board, he was treated like royalty by the crew, … given first-class treatment.  So the long wait was well wroth it.    

The ODB story was used to call for Christian’s to be willing to patiently wait on God’s promises to be fulfilled and to expect royal treatment by God’s “crew” when Christ returns to carry His Bride to her (our) eternal home.  Worth the wait, wouldn’t you say?                    

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for the promise and reality of Your coming for Your Bride one day, … I believe, … soon.               

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying that those who read with me here will wait with me for Your return, Lord,  … maybe today!    …  Amen
