My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Karen Huang … AT THIS LINK … relates a story about a young mother and nurse who needed to move from the Philippians to Taiwan to get a job which would support her family. But doing so - at lease for a time - forced her to leave her young daughter behind with her sister in Manilla. However, her faith allowed the mother to have the peace of mind to believe that God was in control and would watch over her daughter for the time of their separation.
And this illustration of faith and trust in our God, … Who, … if you believe as I do, …knows all and is control of everything He created (see photo). Yes, … we all encounter times where we are overwhelmed by the circumstances of life. Jesus even taught His disciples about such times (see John 16:33. But in that passage our Lord asserts that He has overcome all that the world can bring against us. The question is, .. Do we believe Him?
Well, … God’s word, which I believe is ABSOLUTELY TRUE <b>(see Scriptures above)</b>, tells us that our God is in TOTAL control and knows ALL about EVERYTHING. So, like the young mother in the ODB story, I trust my LORD today; and will tomorrow! … Do you?
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for being in control today … and tomorrow … and ALWAYS!
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to trust You, Lord, to shows us Your way today … and tomorrow! Amen
