Today’s 333 Devotional: “A Journey of Faith” What would prompt someone to leave the comfort of home to go on a dangerous journey? Romance? Maybe. Wealth? Definitely. But faith; yes faith! Such was the journey of the Magi, the Wisemen. When they arrived in Jerusalem after taking the arduous journey they said, “Where is He […]

Open Our Eyes If we could only see what God is doing it would make a difference in how we view life, not to mention see how big God is and how little our problems actually are? Elisha’s ability to see what God was doing landed him smack dab in the sights of Israel’s enemy, […]

The Choice of Faith We live in a society that teaches us to “pass the buck.” They say blame someone or something else for the problems we have. The Bible, however, supports taking personal responsibility for the choices we make. Making good choices is one of the keys to having an effective faith in a […]
