My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Karen Huang - AT THIS LINK - tells of an incident when she was in school … when a well-respected couple in her church invited her to come for pizza, but, the ODB author thought the couple may rebuke her for being in a so-called “bible study” where the group leaders were doubters and known scoffers of Jesus as Christ. However, the couple lovingly showed the ODB author of our need to come to our faith with undivided faith and to beware of scoffers who would try to tear away from our faith with their doubts.
And I’m praying today that all my readers take in the linked song and the Scriptures shared above, bolstered in faith by God’s truth that we can only find God’s will and His way in life when - AND IF - we trust the Lord thru His word and follow His truth with an undivided and faith-filled heart. Is that our mindset today?
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for leading me to Your glory thru the truth of Your word.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me today, …to believe in and follow Your truth, Lord, all the way to Your glory. … Amen
