Berry Patch Devotions in 2021</u> - Day 52 


Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ...   … Please take the time to take in song and lyrics from Don Moen singing … God Will Make A Way  poignantly singing of how we must trust that God will show us the way to follow Him.     



==============

Highlight Passage: … Exodus 4:12 [NLT] …   

12 Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say.” 

… God instructs Moses to go, in His Name and power, and not with an “I can’t” attitude.

Highlight Passage [Context]: … 1Chronicles 16:11  [NLT] …   

11  Search for the Lord and for His strength; … continually seek Him.  

… King David sings of seeking and relying on God’s strength … ALWAYS.

… God, thru Solomon, instructs believers to trust and follow God’s ways and avoid leaning on our own understanding..      


Highlight Passage [Context]: … Proverbs 16:3, 9  [NLT] …  USE THIS LINK  

… God, again thru Solomon, shows His disciples that we must commit our ways to God’s ways, … ALWAYS.       


Highlight Passage [Context]: …  John 16:33  [NLT]  … 

33 I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”   

… Jesus teaches that we, … HIs disciples, … will face trials in life; but, by leaning on God’s strength, rather than our own, we will find His strength to overcome the world.            


My Devotional JournalToday's Our Daily Bread author, Alyson Kieda … AT THIS LINK   wrote about the remarkable story of Jen Bricker, … born without legs and adopted by parents who would not let her say, “I can’t;” … and who went on to become an award winning gymnast (see photo).  


All too often we let our “I can’t” attitude get in the way of letting God have HIS WAY; and trying to do what we think is impossible.  What are we letting “I can’t” get in the way of God’s truths above as well as letting God make a way where there seems to be no way as Don Moen sings in the linked song. 


How about we pray and move forward today with an “I CAN” attitude and let God show us the way … HIS WAY!!         


My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me Your empowering Grace and showing me the way - YOUR WAY - to go today.       

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, …  to seek out Your way, Lord, and follow it no matter what may seem in our way today.  … Amen
