An Altar Made of EarthGreetings Reader God instructed Israel to build His altar from ordinary earth and uncut stones. At first glance, those instructions seem rather strange. Why not gold, silver, or beautifully crafted stones? Yet God was making an important point. The altar was not about man's workmanship—it was about His. The same principle applies to us today. We often spend our lives comparing ourselves to others or trying to become someone we were never designed to be. But Scripture reminds us that we are God's workmanship, created according to His purpose and grace. In today's devotional, we will consider what it means to rest in God's design, stop measuring our worth by comparison, and allow Him to shape our lives according to His perfect plan. I hope this devotion encourages you to see yourself through God's eyes. God Bless, Robin

Let Us Go To The House Of The Lord Greetings Reader In Psalm 122, David declared, "I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go to the house of the Lord.'" But how do you feel when it's time to go to church? Years ago, as I was leaving a service, I overheard someone say, "I gave God my hour this week." That statement has stayed with me. Is church simply an obligation to fulfill, or is it a privilege we eagerly anticipate? In this week's devotion, we'll discover why David found such joy in...
Why God Calls Us Out of Our Comfort Zone Greetings Reader Have you ever wondered why God asks us to step outside our comfort zone? Most of us assume it's so our faith will grow—and that's certainly true. But there is another reason we often overlook. Sometimes God moves us beyond what feels safe because someone else needs to experience His love through our obedience. In today's devotion, I look at an often-overlooked detail in the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman. While the disciples...
