My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Alyson Kieda … AT THIS LINK        … tells of how George Verwer’s life changed when he was saved at a Billy Graham crusade in 1957.  After that he felt called to develop a Mission organization, called Operation Mobilization, which ultimately sent thousands of trained missionaries into Europe to share the Gospel.  In that regard, George Verwer was sort of a “modern-day” Apostle Paul, feeling called by God’s great commission and God’s word (see Highlight passage and God’s word linked above) to “GO” and share the gospel with all who would listen.    

And if my readers are like me, I’m praying we all feel God’s call today (See photo), … maybe not on our cell phones, but most certainly through God’s word, … really just as God’s used Jesus’ Great commission and other Bible authors (see Scriptures above) to have us be His ambassadors of His good news to others, … and to teach those who will listen of God’s love and His saving grace.  That’s certainly my calling; … how about you?     

         

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for calling me to teach others of Your truth and saving grace.                        

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray, … again today, … that all reading here will join me, …  to go out and share God’s good news with others. … AMEN
