My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Patricia Rayon … AT THIS LINK … tells of the dedication and healing service of night-shift nurses as first-line servants in our world (see photo), … illustrating how our service to God should be a 24/7 life of surrendered service to our Lord.
If my readers today have taken in the linked song and meditated on the Scriptures above, we will see how God - thru His word … New and Old Testaments - have called on ALL of those who are faithfully following the Lord to be servants, … no, actually to be His slaves … dedicating our lives to be “living sacrifices” (see Rom. 12:1) ... 24/7 ... to our Lord.
Personally, I’m convicted to do more today; how about you? And so, as I pray daily Ps 19:14 and Ps 139:23-24 [see above], please join me in committing our lives - today and tomorrow - to our Lord’s service.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for helping me to serve you everyday as Your servant.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to let our lives serve You, Lord, … 24/7 .. ALWAYS! Amen
