Blessings Through the Word

Blessings Through the Word provides brief devotionals that are clear, precise, encouraging, and uplifting. Each devotional is the result of our personal experiences and spiritual growth. Often a brief, but yet concise devotional can be read to guide you through a difficult and challenging time. Our desire is to offer a journey for those who hunger and thirst for spiritual maturity. We aim to do this by sharing the road we have traveled and the things we have learned and continue to learn as we proceed in our own journey. If we can be a blessing to someone we will also be inspired and encouraged to continue through humility and praise to God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
