Welcome to Watchword devotionals. Watchwords have been a feature here at bosworth30.com since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, when thee were first sent to the men in my Bible Study group. The number now receiving Watchwords has now grown to nearly 100 subscribers and, as of December 2022, more than 900 installments have been sent via e-mail.
Each one contains a scripture passage or two, a short meditation, an occasional announcement or other inspirational or humorous feature, and a closing prayer.
Subscribers are encouraged to contribute short meditations or inspirational stories, prayer requests, news, poems or just a bit of humor – and they do.
Here are a couple of the most recent Watchwords.

Or, maybe a better question for all us; who or what do you worship? Continue reading

A footnote. I know that we use a lot of different Bible commentaries in our studies and they are helpful. One that I like is Enduring Word Bible Commentary by David Guzik. He really speaks to me in language that even I can understand, and he is very thorough as he goes through chapter by chapter. Another feature of his writings is that he does not hesitate to quote other theologians in order to make a clear point.
