Today's Scripture : Exodus 25:31–40  (NIV)

Paul wrote, “ God’s invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature ” are seen and understood in creation ( Romans 1:20 ). To see God’s beauty , sometimes we have to look at creation, and what might seem like uninteresting passages in the Bible , through a new lens.

By   Jennifer Benson Schuldt Reflect & Pray What are you most hungry for in life? Why does Jesus fulfill you in a way that nothing else can? Those who see Jesus as the Bread of Life will never be hungry.
