I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the LORD.” (Psalm 122:1, NKJV) It’s Sunday and many reading this devotion will be heading to church soon. Like the psalmist, do you feel anticipation and joy because you will be worshiping with other believers today?…
“I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.” (Psalm 122:1) It’s Sunday—the day we come together to worship God. Recent events have affected our weekly time together, or at least altered the way in which we typically gather, but still we…
“For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.” Isaiah 41:13 My devotional book this morning was based on this scripture and what the author had written seemed very pertinent to what we are going through at this time.…
