My Devotional Journal: Today’sOur Daily Bread Author -  Jasmine Goh… AT THIS LINK    … today’s ODB entry uses a story of a young driver, … June, … who missed her exit off the highway because she became focused on another driver whom she was trying to pass.   And the story does illustrate that we, who profess to follow Jesus, can easily get off track in life when we focus on going our own way rather than seeking and following God’s way … thru His word.   

Today’s ODB entry, and the Scriptures provided above, point us all to stay on track in life by following - and sticking to - God’s word.   And that’s the message of the linked song as well.  I’ve often compared God’s word to a perfect “GPS” (i.e., “God’s Positioning System”) which will always lead us to Jesus if we’re willing to follow His word. That’s why I’m here again today, letting God’s word lead me, … are you with me?!                        

          

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for giving me Your perfect “GPS” to lead me in Your way … every day!! 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray. … again today, … that all reading here will join me, … to seek Your way in life, Lord, …  thru Your word.     … Amen
