My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Tim Gustafson -  AT THIS LINK -   shares about rebelling to having to read and study about God’s instructions, thru Moses, abut handling skin conditions in Leviticus 13.  But another in the group, a friend, Dave, told about his non-believing dermatologist reading that passage and being astonished that Moses would know about the correct steps in the diagnosis of infectious skin conditions.  That ultimately led Dave to read God’s word with an open mind and ultimately coming to faith in Jesus as Lord. 

So, what’s our mindset when it comes to studying and believing in God’s word?  Personally, I’m here today, studying and journaling, as I do every morning, reading and believing in God’s word to guide my life; … and having faith in and following God’s word as my “GPS” (ie., God’s Positioning System) for life (see Scriptures above).  I believe what God’s word says about the truth of Scripture and its power to lead us in life; … DO YOU?           

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me Your word to guide me in life.     

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to believe in the truth of Your word, Lord, to guide us all the way to Your glory.      Amen
