A Quiet Word for Today

Each devotional on this page begins the same way Bruce writes: with listening. No agenda, no performance — just the quiet work of receiving what God gives and offering it with clarity and honesty.

Nothing impressive. But right in the middle of all those tents, God placed one tent that was different — the Tent of Meeting. It was right in the center of their daily lives.
