Daily Devotional – Seeing Our Need

Daily Devotional – The Miracle of Life

There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. —Psalm 19:1–3 There is a language in nature that speaks of the existence of God.

Readiness – From Utmost.org April 18, 2016 God called to him….And he said, “Here I am.” —Exodus 3:4 When God speaks, many of us are like people in a fog, and we give no answer.
