| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. |
| 0:09.0 | Allison Keita wrote today's devotion, and she titled it, Opportunities to Shine. |
| 0:15.0 | In March 2020, while walking his dog in New York City Central Park, |
| 0:26.3 | Whitney, a retired financial expert, saw trucks, stacks of tarps and white tents, |
| 0:30.6 | each bearing a cross and the name of a charity he'd never heard of before. |

| 1:51.8 | Today's Our Daily Bread devotional scripture reading is from Matthew chapter 5 verses 13 through |
| 1:57.9 | 16. You are the salt of the earth |
| 2:01.8 | But if the salt loses its saltiness |
