My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Nancy Gavilanes  … AT THIS LINK     … Related a personal experience of being in Paris and wandering thru the city without access to her GPS or by; seeing the Eiffel Tower where she was to meet a friend.  And finally, the buildings in Paris blocking her view of the Eiffel Tower, she was able to find a kind local to guide her on the correct route, meeting her friend on time for dinner.

And the ODB author was trying to make the point, thru God’s word shared above, that we need to be willing to follow God’s truth in order to find the right way in life.  And that’s why you will find me here, …..  starting each day in God’s word and seeking to follow His ways, which will ALWAYS lead me to find the right way in life.  I pray you find your way by seeking to follow His ways today.

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for ALWAYS finding Your way thru Your word. 

 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray, … again today, … that all of us reading here, will surrender and follow You, Lord, by seeking to follow Your word.  … AMEN
