We tell God that we want His will to be done, then dictate our own will in our prayer life.
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.

Another example is found in one of my favorite Bible stories, one that many people never even read. It is memorable for me because of the acts done by the principal character, a valiant warrior, and I love an adventure story.

Sometimes we rush through life and miss the simple joys and blessings that God has prepared for us. Not all the blessings are huge, obvious, miraculous signs. Sometimes they are just simple things to delight our hearts.
