I have no idea how many of these "du-jours" I will find in the long run. If by chance there are 365, how lovely for a daily devotional. Maybe I'll only find 52, so the "du'jour" will then be good for "du'week." Wouldn't it be fun if these turn into a book(let)?
I'll post these in groups of 7. If I develop writer's brain freeze, well, please don't freak out and wonder how you'll live the day without a "du'jour." Just do a "rinse and repeat" of the previous week(s). Hopefully, you'll be encouraged to do a little Bible-page-flipping. I pray also that you find these to be convicting and edifying.
