Highlight Passage: Exodus 40:38 [ESV] ...

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Cindy Hess Kasper, AT THIS LINK … reported on President Reagan quoting the words of a WW2 pilot after the Challenger space shuttle had blown up in 1988, … saying that the Astronauts had reached out … “to touch
the face of God.”
And those were dramatic words to soothe a nation stunned by the Challenger disaster. But, … the ODB author used this to show us that we need to seek and follow God, especially in times of trial or disaster or loss. And my quiet time with God this morning and the ODB entry today caused me to realize that all I have to do is look around me to see the glory of God in His creation (hear the linked song) and then follow My Lord as He leads me to glory.
And then, … I stopped for a moment to ponder as to when I find it easiest to feel close to God; and I decided that it was when I was walking down a beach at sunrise, which I have done many times in my past (see photo). What about you, my friend? As you read this today, where would you find yourself seeking and seeing God’s glory; and how about closing your eyes and going to that place right now, … knowing and trusting that God is calling you - even today - to follow Him to glory.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, King Jesus, … for calling me to follow You to glory today.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to just look around and see our Lord leading us to follow His glory. … Amen
