My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Lisa M Samra … AT THIS LINK       …  related a story of how two of the greatest pianists of the 20th Century relied on one piano-tuner from the Steinway & Sons piano company, …. Franz Mohr, … to keep their concert pianos in tune for their performances.  Mohr was a gifted piano tuner, and a devout Christian, who continually shared his faith with many artists and other people in his business contacts. 

The ODB entry today, and the Scriptures shared above, charge all born-again Christians to use their (our) God-given gifts and talents and our work-related sills for God’s glory.  That’s why you find me here, in prayer and study, using God’s special “GPS” (God’s Positioning System - i.e., Gold’s word, - so that I can be tuning my life skills and talents in order to serve my Lord.  And I ask all my readers here today, … what can we do - maybe even today - to use what God has given us, in the way of gifts and talents, to serve Him?  

         

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for giving me Your gifts which I can - and will certainly try - to use for Your glory.                       

My Prayer Toda: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray, … again today, … that all reading here will join me, …  to use our special gifts/talents for Your glory, Lord.. … AMEN
