My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from John Blase …  USE THIS LINK        … writes about singer/songwriter Gordon Lightfoot writing a song (linked above) entitled “Minstrel of the Dawn,” which sings of trying to find the dawn in the midst of darkness, which is also conveyed in another song by Steven Curtis Chapman (also linked above).    

Sometimes, life dawns on us with darkness, doesn’t it?   And as King David writes in Psalm 59, we need to - IN FAITH - and thru God’s word, seek God’s strength in order to see His glorious beauty instead of how Satan would want us to see his darkness.   Personally, i’m looking for God’s light to shine on my path each of the days that He gives me to wake and see the dawn.  How about you?   Are you looking for His dawning today?

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You …Lord, … for giving me Your word to follow Your light in life. 

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, for giving us Your strength to follow You, Lord, rather than taking our own path in life.     … Amen
