My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author Xochitl Dixon -  AT THIS LINK -   relates how, after a rather severe health problem, and after reading that the earth’s rotation had wavered 1 second in all of history, the ODB author came to realize, in her faith in an omnipotent God, there was no reason to worry because God is in control of all.  

So today, do any of my readers hold onto any worries or fears?  If so, I’m praying that we all take in the linked Twila Paris song and meditate strongly in the Scriptures above, realizing that our God is omnipotent and is in control of EVERYTHING; and His plans for us are for our good with eternal life as our hope.  So, personally I’m going with God’s plan for us; … how about you?    

           

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for promising to me in Your word of Your infinitely good plans for my eternal future.    

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to praise and thank You, Lord, for being in control of our lives and setting in motion Your GOOD plans for those of us who follow You.     Amen
