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

We don’t need to set up a pile of stones to talk about what God has done with us. I do not doubt that God has worked in your life in obvious ways, in ordinary circumstances. You might not have even realized it was happening until afterwards.

All of us have broken bridges in relationships. Some may be the fault of others, some may be bridges that we burnt (intentionally or not), and others may have been mutual. Some relationship bridges have fallen into disrepair and collapsed out of neglect. We didn’t mean for it to happen, but life got in the way, and people drifted apart.

Snowshoes are masters of camouflage, with brown/grey colouring most of the year and white in the winter. When they sit still, they can be challenging to spot. This one wanted to up its game and hide in the feeder/fountain.

The church is so much more than a “hospital.” It is a critical care ward for the newly resurrected and reborn. It is a rehabilitation facility for those struggling with all the world’s temptations. The church is a school to teach newborns how to live lives in Christ. It is a citizenship class preparing us for our new citizenship in the Kingdom of God

t was a lovely, healthy elm. Or so we thought

We will see the Lord in His unfettered glory. I cannot imagine how beautiful He will be. We will see one another glorified through eyes and minds no longer tainted by sin—what a marvellous vision.

Life in a broken world comes with woundedness and pain. We can have physical, emotional, spiritual and relational distress, often more than one at once.

A pair of themes in the Scriptures run parallel to one another. Efforts to reconcile those parallel themes inevitably damage or distort one or the other. I am speaking of divine sovereignty and individual responsibility. Both are taught clearly in the Bible and sometimes seem to be a paradox
