My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Glenn Packiam, AT THIS LINK … writes of how he was able to compensate for jet lag by eating on the schedule of the time zone to which he traveled. It was an illustration of how we Christians can defeat the flesh by walking in the light of Christ, … a choice Christians can make in our lives to honor our Lord by shining the light of Christliness we have by our walk following Jesus’ lead.
And that’s really the message this ODB author wants us to realize as born-again Christians. And I pray that if you - as am I - are one of those who has surrendered to the Lordship of Christ, … that we … today … make choices which have us reflecting the light of Christ into an ever darkening world, as sung the linked song and strongly declared by the truth of God’s word above.
Come join me friend!! TODAY … let’s walk in the light of Christlikeness as we walk out of the darkness of the night and into the morning light we see following our Lord (see attached photo).
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, King Jesus, … for being The Light I follow by pursuing You out of the darkness’s of my flesh.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me today, … to use the light of Christ from Your word, Lord, to follow Your out of the darkness of the world, as we walk in Your light of truth. … Amen
