My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Bill Crowder… AT THIS LINK … tells how a theologian and scholar wrote a powerful Christian apology in his book Reading with the Grain of Scripture, showing Christians how they (we) must be willing to let God’s Spirit help truly born-again Christians to be teachable and grow in faith during their entire lives, letting God’s Spirit and God’s word lead them (us) to live fruitful lives.
So, my fellow brother or sister in Christ, are we being teachable and surrendering our human nature to let God’s Spirit lead us every day? Are we growing in Christ EVERYDAY as the linked song prayerfully convicts us? Personally, that’s why you find me here EVERYDAY beginning my day by trying my best to tune in teachably and follow my Lord by following His truth in His holy and perfect word.
Will you join me, growing in Christ today; and prayerfully maybe tomorrow?
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, …for helping me grow in faith by following You by Your word.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, … to let our Lord lead us to grow in faith by following You, Lord, thru Your word again today. … Amen
