Insight for Today
Written by Chuck Swindoll, these encouraging devotional thoughts are published seven days per week.
Perspective
Could such places of perspective be considered “shelters of the Most High”? When we are there, could we be “abiding in the shadow of the Almighty” which David mentions in Psalm 91?
The Sting of the Thorn, Part Two
Do you find it next to impossible to be satisfied with your present situation? If so, these words are nothing new to you—you’ve been stuck by those thorns since your soil first received God’s seed...and if the truth were known, you inwardly enjoy their presence.

“Won’t Someone Please Stop Me?” Part One
