My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Matt Lucas  … AT THIS LINK      … told of how the break-up of the British Empire in India after WW2 caused the migration of scores of people and over a million of them died in the migration.  And this migration of people reminded the ODB author of the times in biblical history when God’s plan for His chosen people caused mass migrations and movements of people.

And if my readers have taken in the ODB entry for today as well as the support Scriptures, we can see the extent God will go to bring about HIS plans for mankind and for each of us - LIKE ME or YOU - to give us the opportunity to be saved like God did for Moses in Exodus 3 or Jesus in Matthew 2 (see links above).  Personally, God went thru a lot to bring me to a place where I would choose to follow Him.  How about you?  

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … Lord … for Your plan to bring me to be with You and to serve You forever.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, Lord. … for Your relentless plans to bring us to be with You. … Amen
