Highlight Passage: …Numbers 14:9 [NLT] …

My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author, Karen Huang  -  AT THIS LINK  - relates a personal story of feeling inadequate to take on new challenges in her job; but the ODB author was influenced by the Highlight passage (linked above along with the Reference Scriptures) where God’s word promises that our Lord will always be with His chosen and faithful no matter what we face in life. 

The question for us here today is: … do we believe God’s promises to be with us and give us HIS strength when we seem to be overwhelmed in life?   Because if we do, we’ll find God’s love and grace and strength and power to deal with the challenges we face in life.   

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for giving me Your strength .. right now!             

My Prayer Today:  Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I’m praying that those who read with me here will join me to surrender to Your grace, Lord, and to receive Your strength each day as we’re confronted with life’s challenges.   … Amen
