My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Adam R Holz  …  USE THS LINK  -      …  In today’s ODB entry, the author remembers, in his youth, seeing and scrolling thru the Sears catalog and dreaming of getting many of the toys and items he could dream of.  In today’s version of those dreams is found in all the “Christmas” advertising we see on our cell phones, which is now called “Dreamscrolling” in this digitalized world.  

The question raised in today’s ODB devotional or from the Scriptures shared above, asks where do we, who claim to be Christians, place our eternal hope.   With WHOM do we do our “dreamscrolling?”  Personally I’m putting all my hopes and desires, trusting in the One Who died to bring me, a sinner, to be with Him FOREVER.   How about you?  Are you “dreamscolling” with me today? 

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, …for calling me to be with You in glory, Lord.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... for dying to give us our dreams of glory with You.   … Amen
