Isaiah 1:31

The Bible is written by different authors and contains different genres of literature.

Similar to your basic training, this plan will challenge you to get spiritually fit in God’s Word.

This devotional consists of reflections on key, defined words from various sources that will require you to conduct a personal examination of your own behaviors, with the intent of gaining a new perspective.
