My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Kenneth Petersen … AT THIS LINK …  tells of Jeanne Calment, a French woman who lived to be 122.  But then the ODB author refers to Moses’ song in Psalm 90, who sung of most of us being given 70 or 80 years to serve God with the time God has given us.               

The question from today’s ODB entry challenges all born-again Christians to use the time God has given us wisely … for our Lord’s glory.  And I ask myself, and all who might read with me here, … are we using the time God has given us for His glory?  Oh how I pray we might do so today … and for the rest of the days God has given us to serve Him.                                

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me today to serve You.   

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to use our time wisely today, Lord, to serve You.   .… Amen
