My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Kenneth Petersen …  USE THIS LINK     … wrote about the brilliant mind of a 26 year old physicist,  Albert Einstein, who in 1905 in Bern Switzerland, had calculated the essence of the nature of creation and wrote, “The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don’t know.”

And that’s what the Apostle John and the other Authors of the Scriptures above wrote, inspired by God’s Spirit, and letting us, as the pinnacle of God’s creation, know that we can know the truth of God as the light of the universe by getting to know our Lord through HIs word.  And that’s what I try to do, by starting each day by getting to know my Savior more intimately thru His word.   Are you with me?

IF so, … take some time, … listen deeply to the linked song, meditate even more deeply in God’s truth in the few Scriptures provided here, and let your mind surrender to know that Our King, Jesus, is calling us to follow Him all the way to glory.  And personally I choose to follow His call.  How about you?

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

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, for the light of Your creation revealing You as our Lord and Savior.   …  Amen
