My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Kimya Loder … AT THIS LINK … discovered, as a young ballerina, that she could avoid dizziness, after spinning in a pirouette, (see photo) by SPOTTING a place on the wall to focus on after each turn.
And that is a good life picture of what we, as disciples of Christ, must do to avoid turmoil and confusion in this troubled world; … and that is to do a “spot” on God’s truth, as Isaiah taught God’s faithful followers In the highlight passage. And Jesus, Himself, promised His peace and rest to those who’re willing to “spot” on Him daily (i.e., surrendering to His truth in Matt 11:28-30). The Apostle Paul also (see Phil 4:6-7) taught fellow Christians (and us too!!) that we can do a “spot” on God’s protective peace if we come to Him, with thankful and humble hearts, to pray for His peace
If’ you’ve followed me posting my daily journal entries here daily - for years - you know that I come here each day to start out my day by “spotting” my life on God’s word, … grounding my thoughts in God’s steady and protective word; … because I know (and have experienced) the peace that comes from being in and living in God’s truth.
How about you, my friend? Could you use more peace in your life? Well, … I’m praying that you can “spot” faithfully on God’s truth today and tomorrow … and daily … being in His word and finding His promised peace.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me Your peace, that I find daily, by being in Your word.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to seek out, find, and hold onto Your peace, Lord, by “spotting” on Your word. … Amen
