Please Note: We are taking a break from the weekly devotionals. However, there are enough VOWs on this list to accommodate your weekly devotional fix for a full year.
The Verse of the Week (VOW) is a short devotional for you to meditate on all week. This way you can do additional study on the topic and incorporate your learnings into your daily walk.
