My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author -  Patricia Raybon … AT THIS LINK  -  used the reaction of the Persian king, Darius, to illustrate that the presence and power of God, as was illustrated in God’s protection of Daniel in the lion’s den, can transform the lives of any who believe in the Lord.    

And I ask from today’s ODB entry, … its there anything from which God’s presence cannot protect those who believe in God?  And if any of my readers have any doubts, I charge you to take in the linked song and meditate on the Scriptures above, all of which are God’s truth.  Because if you do that,  and you believe, as I do, that God’s word is true, you will see what the pagan king, Darius, saw when he saw how God’s presence had saved Daniel from those lions.                                                                              

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, for being with me … ALWAYS!!   

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to recognize and praise You, Lord, for always being with those of us who love and serve You.   …  Amen
