My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Karen Pimpo … AT THIS LINK     …  told of how her father took his 30 year old, worn Bible to a book restorer, who wondered why her dad wanted restoration for a book which could be replaced with a new Bible. And this gave the ODB author’s dad to witness to the book repair specialist.  

How important is God’s word to any of us? Personally, the power of God’s word, the very truth of God, is why I’m here - this morning - using His word, as i do every morning, … to keep me on God’s path in life (see photo).  I believe the Scriptures shared above and the linked song are true!   Do you?   And if so, where is God leading us today?

         

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for using Your word as Your perfect “GPS” (God’s Positioning System) to lead me to Your glory.                        

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray, … again today, … that all reading here will join me, …  to open and follow Your way, Lord, again today. … AMEN
