My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, David Branon …  USE THS LNK -     … Tells of two teenagers. working TOGETHER, …  one with limited eye-sight, the other inspired and needing encouragement from his fellow climber with impaired sight; and both willing to take on the challenging climb up The Dunn River Falls in Jamaica (see photo), which is a challenging climb for any climbers.  However, the two teen climbers were able to climb the Falls …  TOGETHER.     

Today’s ODB entry points to the reality of how God has designed this life for His chosen to work TOGETHER to overcome what only one may find insurmountable.   So, I call on my fellow Christians to take in the the linked song and meditate on the Scriptures shared above; and then join me to surrender TOGETHER to dedicate our lives to work with other, fellow Christians, to take on the challenges of life, working, with God’s enabling grace, to serve and glorify our God.  Are you with me? 

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … Lord … for designing this life to work with other, fellow believers, to take on the trials of life.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... We come …TOGETHER today …  working with other fellow Christians to serve and glorify You, Lord.   … Amen
