Issue 1700 – Big Bucks and Pride – April 3, 2025
It’s pride that makes us think we can get by on self-righteousness. Jesus had some harsh words about self-righteousness and religious pride.
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)

I can’t think of a single person who hasn’t needed a fresh start or a new beginning at various points in life. Jesus is that start. Like the new day, he brings us fresh promise.

What mercy He has to endure that in my stead. What mercy to endure the penalty for everyone. We sometimes take it for granted, but when I really think about it, it staggers my mind. I cannot truly grasp the magnitude of his baptism of suffering and death.
