Today’s Devotional
Do doubts about God imperil or disable you?
You offer us a stern warning that we “must believe and not doubt”. Father, please help us with the doubts that sometimes come upon us. We feel so imperfect and at times very uninformed. Help us today to realize that is not our perfection that encompasses us when we approach You. We come to You in the righteousness of Jesus, cleansed by Him, led by Him.

For You, O LORD, will bless the righteous; With favor You will surround him as with a shield.” PSALM 5:11-12 NKJV In the midst of difficult circumstances, how can you possibly be “full of joy”?

2 Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold.
