My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, John Blase -  AT THIS LINK  -  writes about joint British-American studies about mountain climbers who’re climbing TOGETHER who perceive mountains as much lower than do climbers who climb alone.         

And that principal and reality is certainly supported by the Highlight biblical passage, the linked song,  as well as the Reference Scriptures above, … all of which teach, over and over, about believers (especially for Christians) coming TOGETHER to work for/with their faith, unifying them (us), in serving our Lord.  So, what are we doing to serve our Lord - today - in unity with other fellow Christians?   

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, …calling me to work TOGETHER with fellow Christians to serve You, Lord,  ALWAYS.  

My Prayer Today:  Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying that those who read with me here will join TOGETHER with other fellow Christians to serve You today, Lord, … and always.      … Amen
