Devotional Recommendations
As God’s children, we strive to walk in a way that is pleasing to Him, and we do that by immersing ourselves in His word and letting it work in our hearts. We can be encouraged because God’s word is alive and active, and it works in our hearts even when we are unaware.
“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword…”Hebrews 4:12
A daily devotional is one of the ways we regularly allow God’s word to do its work in us. Below are some options to help you get started.
Read through the Bible
Another great way to allow God’s word to do its work in us is to read it. This weekly Bible reading plan breaks up your reading into the epistles, the law, history, psalms, poetry, prophecy, and the gospels.
