My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Winn Collier … AT THIS LINK    … shares US Government stats on how often the airlines lose the luggage of airline travelers, supporting a market for digital devices to allow travelers to track the placement of their luggage.   But in today’s ODB devotional, we read of God’s promises to never leave or forsake His people, with God’s word repeatedly promising that our God will be with His chosen people … ALWAYS!   

The question is … do we believe God’s promises - thru His word - to ALWAYS be with and support His people?  I do!   Do you?   

         

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You, … for giving me Your strength when I’m feeling weak or lost (see linked song).

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray, … again today, … that all reading here will join me, …  to trust Your presence and power, Lord, when we feel weak as we face this world or our own weaknesses. … AMEN
