Daily devotions

Everyday our lives are impacted by the things of this world – our friends, family,

and colleagues; our thoughts, desires and questions. This Passing Day is your way to

connect with God and center your perspective.

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow

will worry about itself. Each day has enough

trouble of its own." (Matt 6:34).

Life storms?

Life storms?

My friend, may I ask you a question? Why does God permit such catastrophe for surely it is his hand that guides the wind, drives the rain and uplifts the ocean? Would a merciful God, One who tells us that He loves us and has mercy upon us, do such a thing? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner? A nearly unprecedented storm has come crashing upon the shores of our country. Hurricane Laura, intent upon crushing, smashing and upturning

Nowhere paths?

Nowhere paths?

My friend, may I ask you a question? Can Bible reading, and worship, our connection to God, becomes blunt, and our faith useless in times of trial? In midst of our busy lives, do we need to take time to be with God, to focus on Christ, and to be re-sharpened by the Holy Spirit? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner? As a hiker, I’ve traveled many backwoods trails. One thing I’ve learned is, when you’re on a marked trail, stay on it.

Run the race?

Run the race?

My friend, may I ask you a question? Is it important to become aware of God’s care for us in even the smallest ways so that we may have abundant joy? When surrounded by disappointment and sin is there anything we can do? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner? Whatever! It’s become a sort of iconic phrase in our society these days. I guess it’s kind of a “catch-all” phrase when we’re too busy to get into the details. I got involved in

Savior?

Savior?

My friend, may I ask you a question? As assuredly as Jesus may send us out into life’s storms, He most assuredly will protect us even when we don’t feel his presence. As Christians do we often find ourselves with a very wrong picture of who Jesus is? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner? We have two grandsons who quite often ride with Holly in her SUV. That means car seats and all the hassles connected with installing them, beltin

Real comfort?

Real comfort?

My friend, may I ask you a question? In everyday life, do we need to decide to live or die as a group and to carry other's burdens when they become too heavy to bear? Today in prayer, have you thanked Christ for other believers and seek to build up other believers when their load becomes too heavy? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner? It's been a wet summer here at Beech Springs and Noname Creek has been running high. There are no

The load?

The load?

My friend, may I ask you a question? Do we need to decide to live or die as a group and to carry other's burdens when they become too heavy to bear? Today in prayer, have you thanked Christ for other believers as you seek to build them up when their load becomes too heavy? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner? It's been a wet summer here at Beech Springs and Noname Creek has been running high. There are no bridges crossing the cree

Fast-forward?

Fast-forward?

My friend, may I ask you a question? Is one of the greatest tragedies of a fast-forward world that we are less available to be surprised by the spontaneous? As we sacrifice relationships on the altar of busyness, do we come to the end of the day tired but unfulfilled? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner? One of the things that I miss most about the 1950’s and 1960’s growing up was the fact that we had a different appreciation for t

Life pieces?

Life pieces?

My friend, may I ask you a question? Does God use broken people, unworthy as we are, to do the important work he has set out for his people to do? Does He starts with nothing and, through an occasional success and many failures, He builds something worth His while? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner? Over the years I have applied for and held a number of different jobs. Ranging from stock boy to vice president, I have always broug

You deserve?

You deserve?

My friend, may I ask you a question? What do we really deserve? Apart from the love and grace of God, the Bible tells us that we deserve only punishment and damnation. Deserve this or that thing? On what grounds do you or I deserve anything other than God’s justice? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner? “You deserve a brea today. . .”, so the jingle went! The TV was asking me to buy something to eat. And, “Well, don’t you think that

Getting lost?

Getting lost?

My friend, may I ask you a question? When we make our own appetites for pleasure more important than our appetite for God’s Word, is spiraling away from God is inevitable and, where we end up is unpredictable.? Does it always seem it may be in the wrong place? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner? I love a certain brand of potato chips, Schultz’s, that can only be purchased at one local store in the area. No other potato chip tastes
