My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Kirsten Holmberg … AT THIS LINK … writes about how grandparents developed internet skills during the COVID pandemic to remain connected and influential to their children and grandchildren, … not wanting to lose touch with their legacy of love.
And the isolation produced by COVID certainly showed many of us - certainly it did for me - that we must not let the world or dire circumstances impede our desire - and God’s charge - to transmit the truth of God’s word to others, … especially to our children and grandchildren. I know that’s one of the reasons why I’m here everyday, … writing about the glorious and powerful truths which impact me from God’s word. I so desire for others to learn of God’s truths and to learn to live by them as I am day-by-day.
So, what can we all - what can you - do today to be a transmitter of God’s truth (see photo) to someone we know or especially someone we love?
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for helping me to be a transmitter of Your truth today and then again tomorrow.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to share of Your wonderful truths with our legacy on into the future. … Amen
