Daily devotionals from Scripture to nourish your faith, deepen your prayer life, and grow in God's grace.
Daily devotionals, short stories and Bible studies are designed to encourage you and strengthen you in your walk with Jesus. Come on in, sit a spell and be encouraged.
To learn more about us and what we believe, check out the “About”page. We believe that the Bible is not simply some dusty, old, irrelevant book. It is the living, active, wholly inspired Word of God.
I write devotionals on a daily basis. Most of us are ordinary people, living ordinary lives.
That is an excellent place to meet God. The Lord loves ordinary people … He must because He made so many of us. My devotionals are drawn from ordinary life and I hope illustrate the truths of Scripture. Scripture trumps my writing in every way, yet many people find it helpful in their faith walk.
I hope you enjoy what you find here. Please feel free to subscribe. https://mailchi.mp/f27bbeb09c22/gleanings-1

There’s a familiar biblical account about burdens, although you might not recognize it that way. Even many non-Christians are familiar with the story in general terms. It’s the story of two brothers, Cain and Abel. God made Cain the gardener/farmer, and Abel was the rancher/keeper of the flocks and herds. They offered a sacrifice to God. Abel’s was accepted, and Cain’s was not. It wasn’t the...

Kathy and some of the ladies at the church are studying Paul’s epistle to the church in Galatia. Galatians also frequently appeared as an answer to my recent post asking what your favorite book of the Bible was. That’s not a surprise; it’s often called a gospel of grace. While not a true gospel, the message of grace is clear: right standing with God comes from God’s initiative,...

We have all made promises, some we have kept and others we have broken, for reasons, good, bad, and unknown. The Lord made many promises throughout the Scriptures, and God’s promises are never broken. We all know people whose promises are not dependable. Their word is less than trustworthy, and you can almost count on them not keeping it. The Scriptures are full of verses...

Yesterday, as I stood in the backyard barbequing, I had my Merlin app recording in the background. It picked up the sound of a bird that seemed out of place. I had never even heard of this bird. I thought, improbable, it must be a mistake, but it picked it up repeatedly and this time I heard it as well. It was a dunlin, a type of...

We have all heard the theme from the television series Star Trek, “Space. The Final Frontier…” This morning I want to deal with the real final frontier … death. Or is it? For many people, death is a taboo subject. We avoid it. We are afraid of it. We institutionalize it so that we don’t have to see it. Yet death is part of life,...

When I was growing up, we used to play hide and seek outdoors after dark. It added a new element to the game. Hiding was much easier, and seeking was much harder. The shadows and darkness offered wonderful new places to hide from view. One time, we played using flashlights. When the person who was “it” shone their light on you, you were out. That...
