Let's start by trying to do some break
down, daily is rooted from the keyword, day to day. This is something
you do every day. And devotinal is rooted from the keyword devotion,
this is your dedication to what you do. So you can also split a daily
devotional into, your day to day devotion to the Bible. A daily
devotional doesn't necessarilly means your devotion to the word of
God, it can also mean your devotion to your spouse. But the two words
daily devotional is so much attached to the Bible that each time you
mention a daily devotional almost everyone thinks about the Bible.
Some people think it is boring, they may say ''I already have my
Bible, why have someone explain the Bible to me.'' While most of
those that write a real daily devotional are Bible Scolars, they have
a better understanding of the Bible than you. For those of you who
want to give yourself a chance to better understand the Bible, then
read on as we explore 5 Things You Have Been missing For Not Reading
A Daily Devotional.
1. Better Understanding Of The Bible:
As mentioned earlier most people that come out with a daily
devotional have a better understanding of the Bible. So by reading
what they have to say about the Bible, gives you the opportunity to
tap into what they have learnt by studying the Bible. This is also
going to give you the added advantage of making your Bible reading
easier.
2. Give The Bible The Feel Of Playing A
Game: To be honest I have been a devoted Christian for 2 years now.
Picking up my Bible say in the morning or in the evening has never
been easy. But since I started reading a daily devotional, I found
out that most of the writers pick verses from the Bible and explain
the human relationship to that particular verse. So it's like killing
two birds with one stone. I read the Bible and at thesame time get
the human connnection to that scripture. That sounds like a fair game
right!
3. Christian Growth: No one wants to
remain a baby to be carried around by just everyone. Everyone wants
to grow and gain independence. This is what a daily devotional is
going to do for you when it comes to your Christian growth. It is
going to explain your rights to you in relation to God. Yes thats
right you are going to learn how to get backup from God.
4. Relationship to Fellow Humans: Jesus
Christ before he left, gave us one commandment ''love your neighbor
as I have loved you.'' Honestly speaking sometimes loving human
beings could be as hard as receiving death on the cross. A good daily
devotional writer focuses on trying to encourage and inspire you to
keep the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ.
5. Assurance: Ever heard the song
''blessed assurance Jesus is mind, oh what a fortress of glory
divine...'' Without sense, assurance, life is useless. Added to the
fact that you get assurance that Jesus is yours, Jesus also have
something better for you, the promise of a Heaven. A daily devotional
is just going to try to increase that assurance. And give you more
evidence of a heaven.
There you have it, I can only write,
you have the decession to take what you have read and put it into
practice, or let it stick here on the internet where you found it.
