Issue 822 – The Work is not Finished – Seven Churches – Part 9 – August 11, 2022
What do you have in common with this ancient Christian church?
Daily devotionals from Scripture to nourish your faith, deepen your prayer life, and grow in God's grace.


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.
