My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread  Author -  Winn Collier … AT THIS LINK  - relates a story of traveling on a mission trip to India and arriving in a strange airport with hundreds of strange people and praying to be recognized by someone designated to greet the ODB author.  … Finally, after walking for some time amongst the people, he was approved by someone who called him by name.  

Sometimes we feel like we’re strangers, walking about in the darkness of this world; … but finally, … we see a light which shows us THE way to go.   And my fellow Christian readers, that light is God showing Himself thru His Son, Jesus.  Personally, that’s the Light I seek to follow; because i know it’s my Lord, showing me the way to go, … following Him to glory.  Is that Whom you seek to follow as well?   I pray so.    

 

My Thanksgiving:… Oh, King Jesus, thank You , Lord, for leading me out of the darkness into Your light.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. again today, that all reading here will join me, … to seek to follow Your, way, Lord, into Your light and out of our darkness.   …  Amen
