DEVOTIONALS
Growing up, my father insisted we read substantial portions of the Bible twice daily, eventually completing it cover-to-cover each year. I’m grateful for this experience. I also commend my mother who complemented this practice by gifting me different versions of the Bible for my birthdays. Though I didn’t appreciate it then, I now recognise how these seeds of God’s word, planted so many years ago, shaped who I’m today.
God’s word is an inexhaustible treasure trove. When we pause long enough to listen, we will hear God speak to us. While I’ve read the entire Bible several times before, often hurriedly, I now approach it differently. I want to lie down by green pastures and be led beside still waters. I don’t want to close my Bible until I’ve heard from God, nor do I want to leave His presence until I’ve been transformed.
GleaningByGreenPastures compiles devotionals born from reading God’s word with fresh eyes, listening with renewed ears, and receiving fresh revelations from God with a new heart. Join me weekly as we uncover and explore precious treasures from God’s word.
