My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Kimya Loder… AT THIS LINK … tells of having to muster up a lot of courage as she let go to ride a long zip-line (see photo) in the mountain forests of St. Lucia, trusting that the line would keep her safe as she flew down the zip line to the finish.  

And that illustration is a good one to illustrate the zip-line God has us on that we must trust our lives to Him as He gives us the courage to trust that He will keep us safe all the way to the end of His zip-line of life.  Perhaps you, ... like me right now, ... are in a place where we must simply trust in God to safely bring us home to be with Him.    So, join me, … to ride with Him on this zip-line we call life today..   

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me the strength to ride Your Zip-line again today.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to ride with You, Lord, on this zip-line we call LIFE again today. … AMEN
