—Ephesians 2:19 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Those of us who have been Christians a long time sometimes forget that we have no claim or right to the grace we have received.

—Isaiah 26:3 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

While it is naive, on one hand, to think that trusting in God makes all of our problems go away — Christians have many of the same problems that unbelievers do because they share the same mortal flesh, on the other hand it's true.
