My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author, Am Boucher Pie … AT THIS LINK     … related a personal experience of being in the Holy Land and returning home with aching joints and feet from walking where Jesus had waled in the hills of Jerusalem; but feeling the closeness of our Lord in the aches she experienced.  And that experience helped the ODB author to realize the truth of the promises of  God’s word, … shared above, … showing all believers of God’s promise to ALWAYS be with those who love, serve, and follow The Lord..

As I journal here this morning, I’m praying that all who hear the linked song and meditate on the Scriptures linked above, can feel what the ODB author felt, even through the aches and pains from a Holy Land experience, …even thru the aches and pains of our personal challenges, that God IS - and will always be - with those of us who love the Lord and have chosen to follow and serve Him.  I’m certainly uplifted and comforted by His presence today.   How about you?   

.My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … Lord … for being with me today ..and ALWA’yS!  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, Lord. … for Your promise to be with us ALWAYS. … Amen
