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.

The Lord loves ordinary people. He must, because He made so many of us.
