My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Alyson Kieda …  USE THIS LINK       … wrote about how her fellow church men/women came TOGETHER to advise and help she and her husband as they moved east to further her husband’s education.    

The help the ODB author and her husband received from fellow church members aptly illustrates the teaching of the linked song and all of God’s truth in the Scriptures shared above.  I will never have to go it alone today or tomorrow because I have many fellow brothers/sisters in Christ to help me go God’s way in life.   How about you?   Are you with me - i.e., with US?

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You …Lord, … for my fellow brothers/sisters in Christ who’re ALWAYS there to lift me up.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, for bringing the community of Christ, … i.e., His body, the Church, … who will always come TOGETHER to serve God.     … Amen
