Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ... Please take the time to take in song and lyrics from The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir singing … Psalm 23 … poignantly and powerfully singing King David’s great song of God always being our Good Shepherd.

Highlight Passage: Matthew 6:26 [ESV] ...
26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
… God, thru His Son, teaches us of God’s provision for the birds, showing us how much more He will provide for our needs.

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Adam R Holz, AT THIS LINK writes of seeing a “rafter” of fat wild turkeys, as in the photo, which reminded the author of Jesus’ teaching on His disciples not worrying about what we wear or eat; ... because, … if God will feed and clothe the turkeys, … won’t our Lord, even more, feed and cloth us (see highlight passage)?
The question that hits hard from todays ODB entry is obvious, isn’t it? … Do we REALLY trust God … with ALL our hearts … to provide ALL our needs. … That’s what God promises thru King David and his son Solomon in the OT and thru Jesus and the Apostle Paul in the NT [as in the Scriptures above]? BUT … do we REALLY see our Lord as our Good Shepherd, as the Brooklyn Tab sings in the linked song?
Personally, I’m convicted by that, especially this week of Thanksgiving; how about you?
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, … for being my Jehovah-Jireh … my Provider!!
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray that all reading here will join me to be thankful in this special time of year… for our Jehovah-Jireh, … ALWAYS providing us with His sustaining grace. … Amen
