My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Winn Collier  -  AT THIS LINK  -   illustrates careless and reckless living by showing a driver ignoring the warnings to avoid driving in the road to Lindisfarne when the tide is up and the road becomes flooded.  And too often  … (as in the attached photo)  …  foolish drivers get covered over with the sea waters as they foolishly ignore warnings of the tide waters of the ocean which rapidly cover the road to what is known as the “Holy Island.”

And when we, as Christians proceed ahead in life, ignoring the warnings of God’s Spirit, which are often given to us in God’s word, we can - and WILL - get caught up in our foolishness and selfish ways of life, when wisely following God’s ways - thru His word - is the wise way to go.  Personally, … I choose to seek out and follow God’s way by using God’s perfect “GPS” in His word.  How about you?                 

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me Your warnings, thru Your word, and showing me the wise way to go.         

My Prayer Today:  Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying that those who read with me here will join me to pay attention and to follow Your “GPS,” in Your Word, Lord.   … Amen
