My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Karen Huang …  USE THIS LINK    related the true story about Dr Harold Moody (see photo) who, long after the early 20th century, where the doctor practiced medicine in London, was labeled as the “British Martin Luther King.” And this courageous doctor  got this label because Moody even opened a practice in his own home to treat patients who were rejected by British doctors because of their race.   

And the ODB author compared Dr. Moody’s rejection to that of men like Jephthah in the Old Testament, or later in the NT …  Jesus; … men who were rejected by the world but used mightily by God for His purposes and glory.   Oh, … how I desire to be accepted and used by God for His glory, in spite of being rejected by others in this world.   How about you? 

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You … for accepting and using me for Your glory.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, … for Your desire to use even those who are rejected by the world for Your glory.   … Amen
