experience an extraordinary God in ordinary life

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.
