looking for questions to answers that bother me so
Governed by Law, Not Ruled by It Laws are meant to govern, not to rule. They set boundaries, maintain order, and promote justice. But when the law is twisted into a weapon, it becomes a tool of control rather than a safeguard of freedom. This was the battle Jesus fought…
Extraordinary stories abound in the Bible, but the day after celebrating the birth of Jesus offers a special focus. Day 210 of the Bible App and Diane’s thoughtful insights were the source for today’s trundle as we read more on Isaiah’s messianic prophecies. We were reminded that Jesus’ arrival was…
Today’s Trundle comes from Days 201/202 in the Bible Recap. Hosea lived during a time of profound moral and spiritual decline in Israel. No surprise here—the nation, divided into Israel and Judah, was steeped in idolatry, political instability, and social injustice. Samaria had fertile land, and major trade routes passed…
Today’s Trundle hit me amid joy and worship while listening to a Christmas cantata at church this past Sunday. One song selection from Casting Crowns’ “Somewhere in Your Silent Night” touched a memory of pain. It reminded me that God is always near, even in our darkest moments. Even amid…
“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” – Matthew 24:36 (NIV) Jesus speaks of His second coming and final judgment, emphasizing the mystery surrounding its timing. This verse highlights a truth central to the Christian…

When man believes he occupies a Ptolemaic view—that he is the center of the universe—we must be reminded of the Copernican truth: the Son is the King and is the true center of our universe. Just as Copernicus shifted our understanding of the heavens, moving us from a man-centered model…
Today’s reflection is inspired by Isaiah 6:8 (NIV), viewed through the lens of spiritual warfare. In a world short on virtue, power-hungry leaders attack the foundations of liberty, threatening the very freedoms protected by the First Amendment – a reminder that when we lose virtue, those in power become drunk…
Today’s Bible Trundle stems from a conversation my wife and I had during our morning devotion. We wondered if uprooting people from their families, cultures, and societal norms aligns with God’s plan, and if there’s a better way. This devotional reflects the insights from that discussion. Seeking First the Kingdom…
Today’s Trundle is more of a reflection than a devotional. Perspective, clarity, and understanding come from God and His Word. God’s Plan in the Crucible _“Then Joseph said to Pharaoh, ‘The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same. God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do.’”_…
