ByDr. Mark February 7, 2026 2 Comments
This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” (Psalm 118:24 KJV) Looking through the prism of yesterday, today is actually what we described hours ago as the next day.

An early innovation, as it relates to automobiles, was the addition of a storage compartment on the front panel or dashboard of the 1900 Packard.  Originally used to store gloves, today, today’s car owners stuff their glove compartments with everything: registrations, proof of insurance paperwork, coupons, gift certificates, and a lot of, let’s just say, “stuff.”  Among this...

“For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror.  You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.  But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.” (James 1:23-25 NLT) If you are by chance saving these meditations...
