Morning Devotional:
So I was out of town for an entire week last week, which meant I didn’t pick up my mail. Since I don’t go to my post office box every day, I had close to two weeks’ worth of mail to go through yesterday afternoon. Was it all worth keeping? No.
There was a ton of junk mail to sort through – everything from credit card offers to mail order catalogs to some company telling me my home warranty service was about to expire. (I’ve never had one.) I was just about to throw the whole stack of mail out when I saw one small envelope stuck between two ads – a card from my parents wishing me a happy Valentine’s Day. I had almost missed my mom and dad’s words of love to me.
There is one piece of mail that I love to receive and that is God’s Word to us because it is truth! Paul says in 2 Timothy that “all scripture is God-breathed.” Through the scriptures, we are reminded of His love and grace. His words guide us, lead us, and give us hope. That’s a message I love to receive!
– Beth
