The Other Way Round
Bible Reading Matthew 18:1-4 Key Verse Matthew 18:4 (KJV) “Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Reflection “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” The question sounds simple, but Jesus’ answer reveals that there was something deeper that needed to change.

How each one is written
Every edition is held to the same standard. These are the rules it is written under.
- Scripture followed, not sampledA devotional stays with the passage it opens. Where it traces a thread across several books, it follows the text rather than assembling verses to fit a point already decided.
- Held as it isThe passage is never bent to say something it does not say, and never trimmed to make a neater point than the text allows.
- Quoted in the King James VersionEvery quotation is checked against the text before it is sent, never written from memory.
- Explained to be appliedThe aim is not information. Every edition ends in something you can act on the same day.
