My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread Author - Kirsten Holmberg … AT THIS LINK   … related a true story of two passengers on an airline who discovered that they had booked the same seat on the plane and turned out to be look-a-likes. And curiously when they arrived at their destination, they kept running into each other at the hotel and as they traveled independently.  And a selfie of the two even went viral online because of their resemblance with one another.     

But for us Christians, God desires that we surrender our way to follow God’s way (see photo) to becoming more and more like Christ, … made over into the image of our Lord by God’s Spirit.  So, I’m praying that all my readers here take in the linked song and meditate on ALL of the Scriptures shared above to see clearly that we are made over into God’s image when we surrender our will to His and follow His ways.  I’m headed that way; … how about you?

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

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I praise You, … again today, Lord. … as we travel Your road to Glory, Lord.   … Amen
