experience an extraordinary God in ordinary life
Daily devotionals, short stories and Bible studies are designed to encourage you and strengthen you in your walk with Jesus. Come on in, sit a spell and be encouraged.
To learn more about us and what we believe, check out the “About”page. We believe that the Bible is not simply some dusty, old, irrelevant book. It is the living, active, wholly inspired Word of God.
I write devotionals on a daily basis. Most of us are ordinary people, living ordinary lives.
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.)

Issue 1502 – Peek – July 19, 2024
Many people claim to know about God, but relatively few truly know Him and have a relationship with Him. He calls to us, enabling an intriguing peek. That peek is designed to call us into an ever-deepening relationship with Him.

The baby grebe will soon be big enough to be independent, and its parents will move on to other things. God never moves on to “other things.” Our Father remains important from before our conception through all of eternity.
