experience an extraordinary God in ordinary life
Every day, Scripture speaks to ordinary life. Gleanings From the Word is a daily devotional drawn from the Bible and written for people who live in the middle of things — work, family, struggle, and ordinary Monday mornings.
Kevin Corbin has been writing these devotionals since January 1, 2001. The aim is simple: stay close to the text, say what is there, and trust that God meets us where we live.
The Lord loves ordinary people. He must, because He made so many of us.

Bumble bees and the sweetness of God’s Word.
The humble bumble bee (Bombus species), one of the most important native pollinators in Canada. Unlike honey bees, bumble bees can fly in cool, cloudy, and even lightly rainy conditions. They generate heat by vibrating their flight muscles before takeoff, allowing them to become active when temperatures are only a few degrees above freezing. Bumbles are quite gentle and rarely sting. Unlike honeybees, their stinger isn’t...
