My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Kirsten Holmberg -  AT THIS LINK  - tells of two women kayaking , trying to see whales; and were surprised by one of the whales breeching very near their Kayak (see photo).      

The ODB entry reminded the author of the story of Jonah who was running from God’s presence and His call for Jonah to go to Nineveh, … even  with God using a big fish to help Jonah get back on track to follow God’s call to save many of the Ninevites.  And that story, as well as the inked song and Scriptures above,  brings up the question if we are carrying out God’s call on our lives to serve and follow thru with God’s relentless love and power. He calls us again today.   Are we willing to come and follow His love and grace today?  .                

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for calling me to use Your enabling grace to serve You again today..           

My Prayer Today:  Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying that those who read with me here will join me to follow Your course, Lord, and serve You again today.     …  Amen
