My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Marvin Williams  …  USE THIS LINK      writes about social researchers of the younger generation, described as “Gen-Z,” can readily discern truth from fiction in the false compliments of others.   And that fits with what  today’s ODB entry is teaching (see link above).  

And if my readers today have taken in the linked song and meditated on God’s truth in the Scriptures shared above, many of us will likely be convicted to become more solid truth seekers.   And personally, I do my seeking (after God’s ways) in His word every morning.  How about you?  

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You … for giving me Your truth thru Your word, Lord.  

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, … for providing us with Your truth through Your word.  … Amen
