My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Sheridan Voysey -  AT THIS LINK  -  historically tells of how George Cadbury built a chocolate factory and business in Victorian England based on His understanding of Christian principles of treating others, which went against the ways of how most factories treated workers - almost as slaves.     

     

Cadbury followed the will of God, by following what Jesus taught in the Bible; and his business thrived by treating his workers as Jesus would teach.  It’s all like Jesus taught in His disciples prayer (see Highlight passage); and how the other Scriptures teach in the passages shared below.  But is that how we’re living our lives?   I pray so.      

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for calling me and all who follow You, to seek out and follow Your will, Lord.     

My Prayer Today::Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying that those who read with me here will join me to seek and follow Your will, Lord, . today and tomorrow.…  …  Amen
