My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Jennifer Benson Schulet, AT THIS LINK writes of how the country of El Salvador honors Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world with an enormous statue in their capital city [see photo]. 

And the Scriptures above, as well as the linked song, declare the same truth that El Salvador honors with the statue … that Jesus, as He declared in John 14:6, and was prophesied by the Prophet, Joel (see Joel 2:32) and also repeated by the Apostles Peter and Paul [See Scriptures above] … that anyone - and everyone - who believes, declares, and lives with King Jesus as Messiah and Lord will be saved.  

And I “PRAISE THE LORD” daily for that reality in my life … as I pray anyone reading here with me can as well.  

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, … for being our Lord … and Savior !!! 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray that all reading here will join me to praise You, King Jesus, for saving ALL who believe and live with You as our Lord.      … Amen
