My Devotional JournalToday’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Tom Felton -  AT THIS LINK  -  tells of a friend, Susy, who was emotionally paralyzed by fear as her two month old baby was in ICU with fluid on the baby’s lungs.  But she felt the Holy Spirit calling her to worship God in spite of the circumstances.  And in doing so, she learned and witnessed that …  “worship doesn’t change God, but it definitely changes you.” 


I don’t know what each of you, who are reading with me today, are facing,  But as we take in the powerful linked song by Cece Winans and meditate on the Scriptures shared above, I’m praying we all can praise God and dedicate our day ,,, TODAY … as worship to/for our Lord.  And then dedicate our tomorrows to praise and worship our Lord, … NO MATTER what we might face.      

My THANKFULNESS:... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for calling me, Lord, to live a life of sacrifice and praise to You.          

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying that those who read with me here will join me today, Lord, to dedicate our lives to the worship of You, Lord. … Amen
