My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Dave Branon  …  USE THIS LINK   tells of how he read in a book about WW2, telling of the heroic stand of the soldiers taking a hill number 609 in North Africa, the battle in which the ODB author’s father had been wounded.  And reading about it, enlightened and inspired today’s ODB author, reading and understanding the courage of his dad and his fellow soldiers.   

And isn’t that what happens when we Christians, in faith, gain in our understanding of those in the Bible when we read about them in God’s word?  It is for me!  And that’s why you’ll find me here each morning that I’m able, … delving into God’s word to build my faith with the stories of those, like Mary Magdalene in today’s highlight passage, and about those in the other scriptures like those shared above.   And I’m praying that all my readers use the stories and truths of God’s word to build your faith as well (see photo).  

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank you for giving me Your word to build my faith in You.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, … for giving all of us, who know You as Lord, Your truth to build our faith in You.  …  Amen
