My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Tom Felton … AT THIS LINK    …  relates a true story about a school bus driver passing out with 60 students in the bus most of whom were distracted by their cell phones.  But one student, Dillon Reeves, was alert to the bus being out of control and ran to the driver and pumped the brakes, bringing  the bus under control, and saving all the students.   

And the ODB story illustrates how God calls on all Christians to be alert and use His word, as in the Scriptures shared above, to follow God’s will and His way in life, using God’s word as our “GPS” for life.   And if we know and follow our Lord, He will use His truth to guide us to follow His ways and to accomplish His plans.   That’s why you find me here, starting my every day by being in and following God’s word as my “GPS.”  And I’m calling on my fellow Christians, … i.e., any who’re reading with me here today …   to use God’s word as your perfect “GPS” to guide us in life.   Are you with me?

         

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for giving me Your “GPS” to guide me to follow You to glory.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray, … again today, … that we’re all focusing on following You, Lord, by using Your word as our “GPS.”    … AMEN
