My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author -  Kirsten Holmberg  … AT THIS LINK  -  writes about new AI technology which uses data from research on dog barks in the development of a dog collar (see photo) which can recognize various canine emotions and signal those emotions to the owner thru the dog owner’s cell phone.  And from this technology, don’t we Christians recognize that and all-knowing, … all powerful God, … knows what the minds of those who follow Him are thinking; … and wouldn’t He show us the way we need to go to follow Him?        

So, as i read today’s ODB entry and meditate on the linked song and the Scriptures I was led to study today (see God’s word posted above), … I’m convicted that You, my Lord, are calling me to follow You more closely today; … and on to do more of the same tomorrow.  I get it, my Lord; …  I’m Yours, … I hear You knocking (see Rev 3:20) … and I’m opening the door to let You in.   And so, how about you, my fellow readers?  Is God knocking on the door to your heart today?           

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You , Lord, for calling me out again today. 

 

My Prayer Today Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to open the door of our hearts to let You in to lead us to Your glory by following You, Lord.      …  Amen
