July 13, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, July 13.
What’s the greatest book in the Bible? There’s many possible answers to that question since each person’s choice would be pretty subjective. Some would probably say Psalms. Others might say Revelation or the Gospel of John (my choice). But recently a large group of theologians were asked this question and the most votes for greatest Bible book went to . . . Romans.
A good choice, certainly. This scripture powerhouse, penned by the Apostle Paul, may have more verse for verse spiritual truth than any of the other 65 books in the Word. And if Romans is the greatest book, then perhaps its eighth chapter is the greatest chapter. And verse 28, its greatest verse. You know it. “And God works all things for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose”.
Great words. A great promise. A great comfort.
Meet you back here tomorrow,
David

July 9, 2026 - During the “Golden Age of Radio” there was a popular program known as “The Shadow.” The opening catchphrase was spoken by a booming, eerie voice saying, “Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men, the Shadow knows.” Well, when you think about it, the one who really knows the deepest secrets and longing of our hearts is God. He knows everything about us.
You see, the heart houses secrets that we will never see nor know and people are good at covering up their feelings. Smiling faces often disguise hearts that are about to break in two. Often just when we think we have someone figured out, we discover just how much has been hidden from us. Behind so many smiling, happy and joyous faces is often a life being lived in pain beyond belief.
To be sure, stories of hidden heartbreak are legion. In our world today, we are surrounded with superficial talk and causal relationships. We must remember that a smile does not necessarily mean “I’m happy” and the polite answer of “I’m fine” may not always be the truth.
However, there is someone who knows the depths of our heart. God and God alone knows. He sympathizes with our weaknesses. He knows our joys and he knows our sorrows. He knows our victories and he knows our struggles. He understands our heartaches and loves us through it all. For those living their lives within his will, he is the God of all comfort.
It’s something to think about... tbp
