My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Alyson Kieda, AT THIS LINK tells of a young man named David who broke the cycle of abuse and addiction in his life by surrendering to follow Christ.
And that’s what the Apostle Paul decided and taught [see highlight passage] after his dramatic conversion from zealous persecutor of Christians to a sold-out ambassador for King Jesus. And it was my story as well, … breaking the cycle of habitual sexual sin in my life to repent and sell out to follow Christ.
And it is my prayer, for anyone reading with me here today, that you have decided to do what Kathryn Scott sings in the linked song; … and we, as declared disciples of Christ, have decided that trusting and following HIS WAY is really the ONLY WAY to go.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, … for being THE WAY for us to follow.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray that all reading here will join me, to repent of self and follow King Jesus today and tomorrow and forever!! … Amen
