My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Katara Patton…  USE THIS LINK    … wrote about visiting a friend in a hospital who announced to a group of physicians discussing her case that she needed to go to the bathroom but was not able to do so; and a young, inexperienced doctor, calmly found a urinal and was lauded by the lead physician for simply doing what was necessary to help the patient.  

It’s an example, illustrating what Zach Williams sings in the linked song and the Scriptures teach above … that we, as surrendered disciples of Christ, need to be more like our Lord and humbly serve others as HE did.   I’m doing all I can to be more like my Lord today.  How about you?   

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You …Lord, … for helping me grow to be more like You today.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, for showing Your chosen how to be more like You today … and even more tomorrow.   … Amen
