My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Marvin Williams  …  USE THIS LINK   ... writes that, for many in recent years, the concept of “hope” has been the most searched term on the internet, showing that computer users are looking for hope in the midst of the chaos of this world.  And the ODB author showed that this desire is often found in God’s word as well, especially referencing the Apostle Paul, writing to fellow Christians in Rome (see the Highlight passage).  

And if my readers have heard the linked song and meditated on the Scriptures shared above, I’m praying we all will see that our hope in this dark world is found IN CHRIST ALONE.   Are you with me?  

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank for  the hope You give me everyday.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, … for giving us Your hope for each day and each trial in our lives.  …  Amen
