David's Daily Devotion for January 20

January 20, 2023 - Good Morning! It’s Friday, January 20.

January 17, 2023 - Good Morning! It’s Tuesday, January 17.

A famous writer had an interesting quote about Heaven. He said, "I think Paradise will be like a big library". Devout book lovers will see some sense in that. They're always longing for more time to just sit and read. Eternity in a library sounds pretty good to me.

C.S. Lewis said, "Joy is the business of Heaven". David Jeremiah shared that, "Heaven is a prepared place for prepared people". Billy Graham believed, "Heaven is my real home. I'm just traveling through this world".
