That truth ought to humble us and cause us to serve out of love and gratitude.
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.
Come on in. Read a while. Subscribe if it helps your walk.
Hallelu Yah
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
Hallelu Yah (praise God)
Soli Deo Gloria (for the glory of God alone.)

Let us stick to the business of winning people to Jesus, ministering to them, equipping them to minister, and sending them out. Let us not fall into the rabbit trail of foolish arguments and, in avoiding those trails, avoid the snares of the devil.

When you see these beautifully colored, strange-sounding ducks sitting in a tree, it’s hard not to marvel at the diversity and beauty of God’s creation.

Not everything that looks pretty is a good thing. In the same way, not every thought pattern that seems to be right is correct.
