Verses for the day Devotional Sometimes it’s hard to see what God is doing. I often wish that God would let us in on HIs plan. I’d think it would make enduring the suffering or hardship easier. Would you all agree? David said, “I strain to see how you are going to fix this. I […]

Bible Reading 1 Corinthians 1 Devotional ThoughtsDid you know that it was by God’s design that we would look like fools to the world? It’s almost comical what Paul says in 1 Cor 1:23.
