My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Kenneth Petersen … AT THIS LINK       … wrote how Samuel Morse was an itinerant painter in the early 19th century with an interest in science, and more specifically in electricity.  And we know that this interest - and his faith in God - led Morse to invent the telegraph, which changed the world forever.

And the ODB author made reference to God interrupting the life of one Saul of Tarsus (see Highlight Passage) to an entirely different path in life as this man would become the “Apostle Paul,” … whose rededication of his life to follow Jesus and share His good news with all he encountered, would reroute the direction of all who heard The Gospel and surrender their (our) lives to follow Christ.  

I’m one of those who was a declared atheist 40+ years ago, who now is an ordained Minister of the Gospel, leading a discipleship ministry for/in my church.    And so, … <b>BELIEVE ME!</b> … God can - and will - change your life to by believing in and following His ways.    

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … Lord … for showing me THE WAY - Your way - to go n life.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, … Lord. … for giving all of us, who believe in You, the way to go in life today … and tomorrow.  … Amen
