Dawn and Steve in the Morning

Hour 1: Daily Bread

As we walk each day with the Lord, he reminds us of our dependence on Him. Join Dawn and Steve in the Morning for a devotional from Blackaby Ministries International and learn why our faith in Him today cannot substitute for our trust in Him tomorrow.

"Give us this day our daily bread."   Matthew 6:11

Also, Dawn shares an article by Nick Batzig called "Honor Your Need for Both Work and Rest This Labor Day."
