Morning Devotional 011325 Far From Perfection

Liz’s Morning Devotional: Scripture selected from Upper Room January 13, 2026 2 Corinthians 3:13-18 13 We aren’t like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the Israelites couldn’t watch the end of what was fading away. 14 But their minds were closed.

Liz’s Morning Devotional: Scripture selected from Upper Room January 8, 2026 Hebrews 11:1-6 1 Faith is the reality of what we hope for, the proof of what we don’t see. 2 The elders in the past were approved because they showed faith. 3 By faith we understand that the universe has been created by a word from God so that the visible came into existence from the invisible. 4 By faith, Abel offered a better sacrifice to God than Cain, which showed that he was righteous, since God

Morning Devotional 010526 Endurance and Persistence

Liz’s Morning Devotional: Scripture selected from Upper Room January 5, 2026 2 Timothy 4:5-8 5 But you must keep control of yourself in all circumstances.

Liz’s Morning Devotional: Scripture selected from Upper Room January 1, 2026 Hosea 11:1-4 1 When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. 2 The more I called them, the further they went from me; they kept sacrificing to the Baals, and they burned incense to idols. 3 Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk; I took them up in my arms, but they did not know that I healed them. 4 I led them with bands of human kindness, with cords of love.

Liz’s Morning Devotional: Scripture selected from Upper Room December 31, 2025  1 John 3:16-24 16 This is how we know love: Jesus laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. 17 But if someone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but refuses to help—how can the love of God dwell in a person like that? 18 Little children, let’s not love with words or speech but with action and truth. 19 This is how we will
