My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Sheridan Voysey … AT THIS LINK      … told of two tourists hiking in a wooded area near London and encountering Queen Elizabeth and her police guard, as the Queen was walking in that same wooded area near the Palace.  The hikers didn’t recognize who the Queen was; …but learning, from the Queen, that the guard knew Queen Elizabeth personally, they asked the Queen to take their picture with the policeman.   So close,…  but yet so far!! 

And that’s us, too; … isn't it?   Here we are, being in the very presence of God, as is reminded and revealed in the truth of God’s word above; … and yet, we often just don’t recognize that we’re in God’s presence.  Oh, how I pray that we all just trust that our God is right here with us … RIGHT NOW … and  FOREVER!   

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … Lord … for being here with me, always!! 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, Lord. … for being our Shadow of Grace … today … and A:WAYS! …   … Amen
