Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ... Please take the time to take in song and lyrics from Phil Ziegler singing … Spirit of Truth … poignantly singing of how we, as disciples of Christ, must follow the Spirit of truth to avoid the lies of this world.

My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Tim Gustafson … AT THIS LINK … writes of the horrible loss of life in the 1938 New England hurricane Sandy (see photo), where many lives could have been saved if the U.S. Weather Service had listened to the prediction of one young meteorologist hours before the storm.
Whom we listen to and allow to guide our steps will be critical to the path we take in life, won’t it? And God’s word, thru Prophets like Jeremiah, or no less than King Jesus Himself, warns us to be willing to follow God’s word as our light out of the darkness of this world.
That’s why you find me here each morning, starting each day, following King David’s prophetic songs (see the Psalms above) to let God’s Spirit and His word guide my steps in life. And God’s truth will never lead us astray as will many of the false prophets and teachers in this world who will try to lead us astray. I don’t know about my readers; but following God’s way and His word seems to be the safest way to go, … don’t you?
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for showing me the way to follow You from Your word.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to get on the right track in life by following Your word today!! Amen
