My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author -  Patricia Raybon … AT THIS LINK  -   relayed the story of the community of Highland Park, Michigan one year not being able to pay their utility bill and the power company turning off the power to light their street lights, making walking on the streets more dangerous.  But a non-profit group raised the money to set up solar power street lights, making the streets so much more safe.  

And in a nutshell analogy that’s what Jesus did, sent by God, to become THE LIGHT of the world so that we can - AND WILL -  live in and the Light of heaven for eternity (see Scriptures shared above).   So our question today is … are we walking our paths in life illuminated by the Light of Christ; … or are we walking in the darkness of this ever darkening world?  Personally, I’m seeking to follow the Light of Christ; … how about you?  

                                                                    

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, …for lighting my path with Your word.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me today, … to walk to - and by - the Light of Your word, Lord.     … Amen
