My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Winn Collier -  AT THIS LINK -   tells of the project in the 1920s to build a glorious City Hall in Brisbane, Australia; … but running out of money to finish the orb on the top of the city hall tower.  At that time a plumber/artist used spare parts from a toilet cistern to help construct the orb needed to complete the project (see photo).  And to me that’s a great life example of what Don Moen sings about in the linked song; … that God will make a way when there seems to be no way.

And the Bible story of Moses learning from God how He provides a way, using Moses’ shepherd’s staff (see nightlight passage) to go before Pharaoh when Moses couldn’t see a way that he could do God’s will to lead God’s people out of Egypt.  And perhaps my readers have trouble seeing a way to glorify God with what we have to offer God’s kingdom.  But if we go forth to accomplish what God, Himself, has called us to do, … our Lord will provide all we need to accomplish His will; and I get my faith from God’s word, from the Scriptures above leading us, …  I believe that!  … Do you?               

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for leading me to do Your will, Lord, again today.   

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to let You, Lord, show us the way - Your way - to go in life, knowing that You will provide what we need to do Your will. … Amen
