**Moments in the Word consists of ten individual devotional thoughts based on various passages of Scripture. Unlike many devotional formats, I’ve chosen to omit contemporary parallels and anecdotes in favor of reflections focused directly on the Word of God. Each devotional begins with a passage of Scripture, which is followed by a 500-word reflection and a prayer.
Individual devotional titles:
- Banquets of Insignificance – based on John 6:5-9
Theme: To do my best with what I’ve been given
