My Devotional JournalToday's Our Daily Bread author, Karen Huang, AT THIS LINK  … wrote about a faithful member of a church who passed away and was greatly admired as a quiet, but faithful, servant of the Lord.  


My readers probably know of someone in your church or life who serves God quietly, yet faithfully, … always obedient as a servant of God, … and working - behind the scenes - to humbly serve the Lord.  Perhaps you may be one of those servants.  Well, the linked song and the Scriptures above call us to be one of those faithful servants today. … And I pray we all aspire to such faithful service. 

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, …for calling me to serve You faithfully and obediently today.   

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, …  to do all we can today to humbly serve you, Lord; and then again tomorrow. …   Amen
