My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author -  /Katara Patton … AT THIS LINK  -wrote about learning - early in her seminary training as a young, new, Christians that God’s word leads us to follow the truth of seeking God’s will over our own way to handle the trials and troubles of this life. 

And that’s our challenge from today’s ODB entry, isn’t it?  And if my readers have heard Don Moen’s song, linked above, and meditated on the Scriptures shared today, I’m sure you’re as convicted as I am today to do all I can to seek out God’s will from His word and follow it in all ways I can … ALWAYS.   I’ve still got a long way to go.   Are you with me?         

                                                                    

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … thank you, Lord, for shining a light on my path from Your word to help me follow Your will.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to seek Your will, Lord, and to follow it - ALWAYS - from Your word.   Amen
