The Ordinary and the Almighty

Debora McKay Notari

Description

Jesus longs for our companionship and worship. He will never leave or forsake us.
These succinct, daily devotionals remind us of His presence and love.
Every day is a gift. We can choose to believe in God’s great goodness and love towards us or become so burdened with life and its struggles that we forget how near He is. We can lose heart. The Ordinary and the Almighty is a daily reminder that we are preciously honored and loved by God. It is a refresher for the soul. Come away!
