My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Adam R Holz …  USE THIS LINK   writes about a 110 year old woman, Lillie Cunningham, who has dedicated her life to worship God and give Him thanks everyday; but makes sure she attends Sunday worship at her church to show that she honors the Lord’s call to set aside a special day of worship for the Lord - The Sabbath Day.

And if my readers have used the links above to take in the ODB entry today, the linked song, and the Scriptures shared above, I pray you will join me to show our willingness to set aside a special day each week to rest and and honor God’s command to worship Him with a Sabbath day.  I’m in for this each week.    How about you?

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You for calling me and all Your chosen people to set aside a Holy day each week to praise and worship You with our rest.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, … for showing us how to worship You with a day each week, Your Sabbath, … set aside to keep it Holy and worship You.  …  Amen
