My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author -  Kirsten Holmberg  … AT THIS LINK  -    The ODB author, Kirsten Holmberg, tells of a tradition, she and her husband have, at Christmas, …  to hike up a hill near their home to take in the lights of the city below (see photo).

And the ODB entry reminds us, thru God’s word, shared above and the linked song by Lauren Daigle, telling us that God sent His light to us, thru His Son and our Lord, Jesus, to dispel the darkness we encounter in this world.  Oh, how I pray we seek to follow His light. I do - daily - by seeking His light to my path thru His word (Psalms 119:105).  How about you?  How do you seek to follow His light.
