Daily devotional in its simplest
defination is an explanation of Biblical scriptures to apply in every
day life. We all live in a world we met and most of the things we
live on was told to us by a family member, friend, collique or a
parent. But the comes that time we want to find out the truth
ourself. This is where a daily devotional plays a very vital role. As
you begin to grow up, life is gradually going to lead you to it's
vanity and you will need to find out things like importantance, usage
and value. Only the Bible have the information, for those of you that
are already advanced, the revelation you will need to understand this
three fundamentals of life. This is were a daily devotional comes in.
Read on as we find out together why you should read a daily
devotional.
1. What is life? This is a question we
can write a whole article on. But lets deal with it in relation to a
daily devotional. Life is a very difficult thing to define. But we
can break it down to it's meaning. The meaning of life is also a very
broad topic. But let's try to pick something out of it. Basically
there are four stages in life, for the advanced you know that is the
Earth number, childhood, Teenage days (boys and girls days) adulthood
and old age. Each of this stages have it's accomplishments and it's
regrets. For example childhood days you were loved by parents, but
thought everybody was your father or mother. One thing you want to
avoid in your life is the regret of old age. And one of the things
daily devotional will try to teach you is to have a forfilling old
age.
2. To What End? This is a question you
will need to ask yourself only when you find out about what is called
''freedom.'' One day you will find out the people who hurt you were
not even suppose to do that, and there will be this burning eage to
revenge, you will have to ask yourself to what end, kill them then
what. What daily devotional will do for you here is to confort you.
3. Purpose: This is only for those who
have to deal with confusion. There comes that time in life when
everything just seem thesame. You have gotten married then what, you
have a house then what, you have a good job then what, this is when
purpose plays a very important role. This things will only begin to
make sense to you as you start to see others craving for these
things, and then you can feel fortunate for having them. What daily
devotional will do for you here is give you wisdom you feel fortunate
when you need to and jet not criticise others for not having.
4. Happiness: Something everyone is
looking for, something no one has ever been able to explain how it
comes. This article is not going to pretend it will explain to you
what happiness is all about, but atleast it will tell you how it
comes. After you have been through pain and the comes this time you
stop and return to your childhood days then you beginn to see the
things people do, you beginn to laugh at it all. Daily devotional is
going to teach you how to forgive the things some people did to you
that was inhuman.
5. Peace: This is a greater form of
happiness. Happiness can be damaged but peace is for everlasting.
Happiness is human generated but peace is from the son of God himself
(Jesus.) He said in the Bible ''the peace I give you supassing all
human understanding.'' So to get this one. you will need to have a
personal relationship with Jesus Christ, this is where daily
devotional comes in play. It will teach you the simple steps of love
which is the only commandment Jesus gave to become His follower.
6. Love: we can't talk about something
like this without talking about something everyone is looking for.
Knowingly or unknowingly. You might want to get love from a parent,
spouse, friend or even a family member. Daily devotional is going to
teach you how to be kind to people so they can like you and even love
you in the case of a man and a woman.
7. Acceptance: this is a very important
aspect of the human life. We all need people. No matter what you have
you will still need people, no matter who you are you will still need
people. You can't live alone. Daily devotional is going to teach you
how to live with people so they accept you. If done well you will
find out people only get active when you are present.
9. Parenting: Raising up children is
not as easy as it sounds. People have been known of loosing their
mind trying to raise up a child. But a clear explanation of the Bible
through daily devotional will go along way to do alot of good. For
example the Bible said ''Children are a heritage from the Lord.'' and
there is also a commandment in the Bible binding parents and children
''Children obey your father and mother so that your days maybe long
on earth.''
10. Heaven: Many people don't like
hearing this. They say we just have earth, Heaven is not real. But
you will see Jesus promised a place to all his followers, when He
said ''in my fathers house there are many mansion.'' His fathers
house happens to be called Heaven. Daily devotional is going to teach
you how to get to Jesus's fathers house.
This is just a few of the many reasons
why you will need to take some time every now and then if not every
day to spend some time and read a daily devotional. Some will take
you just 5 minutes to read through, some even have an audio record so
you can just listen. Don't be lazy, get to work and make some meaning
out of this thing called life.
