My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Lisa M Samra-  AT THIS LINK  -  -wrote about Country music’s legend, Johnny Cash, recording his last album just a month before his death and with weakened voice recording one song titled “Ain’t No Grave,” which expressed his hope of being with His Lord forever.  And my readers can hear that poignant  and powerful song by USING THIS LINK .  

     

And that linked song as well as the Scriptures above point to THE coming resurrection of the dead one day when God calls His chosen people home to be with Him forever in glory.  But at that glorious time, there will also be many who will experience eternal separation from God because they refused to surrender their hope to follow Jesus as our Messiah.  Which will you be?   if, in reading this, you’re not sure, email me @ billb13@icloud.com and I’ll show you how to be sure that you will rise - at the final resurrection to be with our Lord forever.      

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for calling me to be with You, Lord, … forever in glory.      

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying that those who read with me here know that no grave can hold those who believe in You, Lord, as our Messiah and Lord.    …  Amen
