I love this since the first time I saw it. I woke up this a.m. at 4 o'clock and opened my little blueletter bible app. It has this on the home-page called "live map". It shows the number of how many are in the app, and this is "just" those using my same bible-app online . It's comforting for me to think of all the people that are just like me, seeking the Lord's Word, whatever time it is of day wherever they are. I know I'm never alone because God is with me, but to know other people are doing the same thing I am is such a comfort. wanted to share this screen-print of the "live map" and hope it makes you smile The actual map is neat because it blinks and changes throughout the day. God bless your day richly! Also, I'll put verses I read this a.m. as that's what opened first on my kindle since I'd looked up something about Elijah (James 5:1-20 nkjv) before I went to sleep last night, denise PS Please know you are so welcome to share anything you read recently that touched your heart https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/jas/5/1/s_1151001
To see so many people of different countries opening a Bible app is indeed a wonderful thing but my heart and prayers do go out for the people of 52 countries where the Bible including Christian literature and computer apps are deemed to be illegal. Through all the turmoil this country is facing at the present time, I do feel fortunate to be able to freely worship and read “The Word” without the fear that so many have to endure.
52 countries it's illegal Bobby? I did not know it was that number at all I'm sure there are our brothers and sisters in Christ are finding ways, but how stressful I think that would be for me. I have a lot of anxiety, at times, but God is lifting that away as I spend time every day now in His Word. I'll be praying for the Body of Christ around the world, thank you for the info and reminder, denise PS When I look at that map now, I'll think of the areas I don't see the "dots" and pray for them. This reminded me of Corrie Tenboom's story of the fleas in the concentration camp, who would of thought to thank God for the fleas.
