"Be still and know that I am God.” is one of the most beautiful verses from the Bible, but it’s not easy to practice in this busy world. Mornings with Jesus will help you do just that—“be still” in Jesus’ beautiful and powerful presence. For those who are seeking a deeper experience in their relationship with Christ, Mornings with Jesus offers a fresh perspective of who Jesus is (the Healer, the Son of God, the Comforter, the Good Shepherd) and what that means for day-to-day life. With a warm and friendly voice, 365 short devotional writings on the character and teachings of Jesus encourage readers to greet each day by drawing near to Him and inviting His presence into their day. Spend time with Jesus at the beginning of each day and experience His nearness and peace in a new way throughout the year. Each day’s selection includes: • a Bible verse • an entry based on Jesus: His words, miracles, and parables; His wisdom, compassion, and comfort; His mystery, power, divinity, and humanity • a “faith step” that will inspire and challenge readers to apply the day’s message to their lives.
My Review:
This is a wonderful devotional with daily readings. Each reading is a stand alone time of focus and reflection with seven contributing authors. While the book is dated 2012 with the date at the top of each page, one could enjoy this book each year by going by day of the year. Each day starts with a scripture, an applicable written portion and concludes with a faith step. I value that different translations of the Bible are utilized which broadens my reading as I usually utilize the NIV. The authors bring their own revelation and experiences to their daily writings which resonate and remain with me throughout the day. I was pleasantly surprised that upon reading familiar scripture in this devotional I have been able to learn something new about myself and how it pertains to my faith. I particularly enjoyed the reading from the 27th of April on Matthew 6:33 by Tricia Goyer and saw a different perspective on how to apply that scripture to my daily life. This would be a wonderful addition to your faith journey.
