Daily Devotions

The Bible does not contradict scientific explanations of the world. You don’t have to choose between the two. The goal of scientific study is to understand the natural world. All truth, handled correctly, is approved by God. Close observation of God’s creation points us back to our Creator. Please join The Cove Church in the five-day devotion plan called “I Believe in God, but I Trust in Science, Not the Supernatural.”

Suffering can cause confusion. We know God is good; yet life is hard. We don’t see everything going on. There are spiritual battles that affect us, even when we can’t see them. Remembering that we, like Job and others, only see part of the picture helps us to lean in when we don’t understand. Suffering and pain will find us. God doesn’t promise to keep us from it. Our difficult responsibility is to lean into God when we are tempted to pull away because of unexplained suffering. What a difficult task!
