I've noticed that I'll dig into frequently in times of trouble but when the easy times come, I begin to pull back. Bible reading becomes scarce. Prayer times lessen. Thoughts of God even become distant.
However, recently I was introduced to a young man named Jonathan Malm. He's recently released a book entitled Created For More.
Malm's new book is a 30 day devotional (or however you want to consume it, as he puts it). The book centers around ways creative people can stay in touch with God and His word.
And I've got to tell you, this book has been amazing.
So far I've been able to consistently read 11 days worth of Bible devotionals. This is probably closing in on a record for me.
That's why I wanted to introduce you to the book and hope you might pick it up.
The chapters are short and engaging. When you're reading it in the early morning, you don't want to put it down. You'll probably want to continue reading on into the next day's reading.
But I've got to encourage you not to do that. Instead, digest what he's shared for the day. Chew on the fat and let it sink in.
That's what's been happening as I read it. My thoughts drift back to the morning devotional and how I can apply it to my life. That's never happened before!
So, if you're looking for a devotional that'll touch you, make you think, and become more focused on God, give Created For More a shot. I think you may find a new favorite devotional.
