My Devotional JournalToday’s Our Daily Bread Author, Karen Holmberg AT THIS LINK      related a personal story about how her father taught her to ride a two-wheel bicycle, … with his method giving her confidence to ride the bike without training wheels.  And the story reminded the ODB author of how God’s word (see the scriptures shared by links above) repetitively show us that our God is always there, hearing our prayers, uplifting us, and giving us his strength, especially in times where we feel weak or fearful.


And if my readers have taken the time to digest the linked song by Steve Green, and especially meditated on God’s word in the Scriptures linked above, I’m praying that you, as I was, are uplifted and encouraged, … especially if you’re dealing with some tough or fearful issues.
