My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author -  Kenneth Peterson … AT THIS LINK    …  The ODB author, for today’s entry tells of a remarkable 19th century woman, Kate Hankey, a poet and author, who wrote many words which became the words to hymns about Jesus.  See one of those in the classic old hymns linked above  

My fellow Christian readers, .. do we REALLY realize that God’s story is HISTORY (i.e., His Story); and it’s being written for others to read in the lives we live to reflect God’s story which is given to us in His word, … the Bible.  And I’m praying we live to honor His truth and to share - thru our lives - the reality of His story by living out of His word.  I’m in for that as my New Year’s resolution; … how about you?            

                                                                    

My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, for giving me Your story, … God’s word, … to follow You into the New Year.          

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to use Your word, Lord, as our path to follow You … this year and thru all the time You give us to walk with You to glory.        …  Amen
