My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Bill Crowder …  USE THIS LINK        … wrote about the remote country of Kiribati, an Island nation of 33 islands in the Pacific (see photo), being the only country on earth where all four hemispheres of the globe coexist in one place.  And the ODB author went on to use this remote place on earth to illustrate that Jesus called any, who claim to be His disciples. to go even to remote places like Kiribati to be HIs witnesses.

And if my readers have taken in the linked song and studied through the Scriptures above, I think you’ll be convicted, as I was, to “GO” and be prepared - and willing - to share the good news of Christ with any/all who need the Lord - and that, my friends, is anyone - or everyone - isn’t it?    

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You …Lord, … for calling me to be Your ambassador today … and tomorrow.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, for giving us the light of Your truth to shine forth into this very dark world.  … Amen
