My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Tim Gustafson -  AT THIS LINK  -   writes about a photographer describing the glory of photographing the northern lights (see photo) shining out of the darkness of winter in the northern hemisphere.        

And then today’s ODB, with several scriptures (see above), teaching that Jesus is - and will always be … the “LIGHT OF THE WORLD,” … giving us His light to reflect into our very dark world, allowing us to follow Him into the light of His glory.  And that’s why you find me here daily, seeking the Light of God’s truth (i.e., thru HIs word) as my commitment to seek and follow His Light of truth all the way to His glory.                                                                      

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, …for shining Your light on my path to Your glory. 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me today, … to declare openly that we follow Your way, Lord, in life - no matter what we face.
