My Devotional Journal: Today’s Our Daily Bread from Karen Huang …  USE THIS LINK        relates a story about a company CEO who intimidated many employees with his sharp-tongued criticism.  But one of those employees stood up and told the CEO what he was doing to many employees; … and though the confrontation didn’t change the CEO, the employee who shared his feelings with the boss felt good about it.  

And today’s ODB entry, the linked song, and the Scriptures shared today, showed me that all Christians must stand up for our faith when we’re challenged by the world or especially when we sense that Satan is coming against us.   It’s tough; but I’m looking to stand firm in my faith today.   How about you?   

My Thanksgiving: … Oh, King Jesus, thank You … for calling us to stand firm in our faith today.

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, … thank You, Lord, … for the times we get the opportunity to stand firm in our faith.  … Amen
