And if my readers, … here today, … have taken in the linked song and meditated on the Scriptures shared above, I would think that many - if not all of you - are convicted. as am I, that we have a long way to go to live lives which honor our Lord. But as Phil Wickham sings, I’m committed to follow THE JESUS WAY today and then trying even harder tomorrow. How about you?
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, …I’m so grateful that you’ve given me Your word as my “GPS” to follow you, Lord, … all the way to Your glory.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me today, … to do what we can today and tomorrow to follow You, Lord; and to live for Your glory. … Amen
