My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Mike Wittmer …  USE THIS LINK    used the story in the movie, Sully, to illustrate how the main character, the pilot, “Sully,” who landed his disabled plane, with 155 on board, on the Hudson river was so concerned for the lives onboard his plane.  And later when Sully was being examined in a hospital, he demanded that the authorities tell him of the fate of ALL 155 souls on board.

And the ODB author compared Sully’s deep concern for his passengers and crew to God’s concern for mankind, which is born out in the linked song and the Scriptures shared above. Personally, it is uplifting for me to know how much God cares for us all … so much so, … that He would send His Son to save us.  Wow, … I’m in for that!   How about you? 

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You … for giving up Your Son. my Lord and Savior, to save me.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, … for being willing to send Your only Son to save all  who believe in You as Messiah and Lord.   … Amen
