Issue 1852 – Childlike faith – November 19, 2025
That’s the kind of faith we are called to have in God. A faith that trusts even when we don’t understand everything that’s happening.
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.

The Holy Spirit inspired the entirety of the Word, and we can trust it. The Word is the revelation of God, and when it disagrees with our likes or understanding, we are the ones in the wrong.
