My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Kirsten Holmberg - AT THIS LINK - tells of the incredible appearance of a brilliant double rainbow which was photographed by many (see photo) appearing over New York City on 9/11/23, on the twenty-second anniversary of the attack which killed so many on 9/11/2001.
It was like God reminded Noah of His eternal covenant of hope with His chosen people with the rainbow, … showing God’s eternal sign of His mercy and grace. And I pray here today that all of us, whenever we see a rainbow, as did those New Yorkers, on 9/11/23, we will remember all the truths in the scriptures shared above; … that our God promises us to bring ALL those who believe in and follow the Lord to be with Him forever. I’m going for that; … aren’t you?
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for reminding me of Your eternal covenant of hope - the RAINBOW - that shows me that I will be following You, Lord, all the way to glory.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying that those who read with me here will join me to be reminded, that, any time we see a rainbow, You’re reminding us, Lord, that You are leading and protecting us … all the way to glory!. … Amen
