And it’s a life picture of how believers are called by God, in the Old and New Testaments; and that is to pass along the mighty works and Gospel plans of God to the following generations.
I was blessed, as a new, 40+ year-old, “baby,” Christian, to be mentored by an Elder in my church, who met with me weekly for years, helping me grow in my relationship with Christ. And now I’m blessed to be able to mentor others who need to find a closer, and more abiding, relationship with the Lord.
Who has helped you grown closer to Jesus? … Whom could you help come to know Jesus and grow closer to Him than ever before?
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for calling me to help others know Your mighty works, Lord.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to show the next generation of believers, Lord, that You want to lift them up with Your grace. Amen
