June 16 2026… The Road To Holiness

June 16 2026… The Road To Holiness 

Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ...        and PLEASE take the time to listen to music and lyrics from the group, Nations Worship, singing … When I Look Into Your Holiness … declaring the joy Christians find when they (we) look to follow God’s Holiness in worship to His ways.

On the road to holiness and glory ... 

========================\

Highlight Passage: … Isaiah 35:8 … [NLT]

…  8 And a great road will go through that once deserted land. It will be named the Highway of Holiness. Evil-minded people will never travel on it.  It will be only for those who walk in God’s ways; fools will never walk there. 

… Isaiah calls for God’s people to travel the “highway of holiness” (see photo)

My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Amy Boucher Pye …  USE THIS LINK            writes about a Christians woman, named Jennifer, who was diagnosed with early Alzheimer’s and over time had trouble reading from God’s word; and began to listen to The Bible, which would quiet her from having difficulty getting lost or with hallucinations of wild animals.

And the ODB story reminds me, for one, that we Christians need to do all we can to follow God’s road of holiness so that we don’t lose our way in this life.  As we hear in the linked song and read in today’s Scriptures, shared above, we, who’ve surrendered to Christ as Lord, must follow His road to holiness - which is God’s road to glory.   I’m doing my best to be on that road.   How about you?

My Thanksgiving:… Oh, King Jesus, thank You … for showing me THE way … Your way … to holiness.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, … for walking with us on THE way - Your way - to glory.   … Amen
