With so many different devotional books out there it can be hard to narrow it down to one. You can spend forever reading the description of each one but I find the best way to find if one is a good fit for you is by hearing reviews from others who have already read one. Today I will be discussing three of the most recent devotional books that I have read and give you my thoughts on each.
The first book I will be discussing today is Wives After God: Drawing Closer to God & Your Husband. I went through the devotional study shortly after marrying my husband. I think it is great for newly married women but I really think it is a good study for any married woman. It takes a look at God’s design for marriage and the roles we play as husband and wife. It explores the importance of our relationships with God which in turn effects the relationship with our spouse. The study explains that by drawing closer to God we are better able to be the Godly wives we were meant to be. I find myself often referring back to passages and scriptures that I looked at during the study to guide me in times when I feel I am struggling. Our role as wife is not always easy but this study reminds us that it is easier with God than without.
The Search For Significance: Seeing Your True Worth Through God’s Eyes is the second devotional study that I want to discuss today. I think this study is such a great one especially in today’s society. It is so easy for us to get caught up in what “the world” says about our worth. We tend to look to other people to determine our worth when in actuality we should only look to God for our self-worth. We tend to rely heavily on our accomplishments or on other’s opinions for the basis of our self-worth but that is not as God intended it. We are driven by a desire to be accepted and seek to gain the praise of others which ultimately leaves us feeling hopeless. This study helps to learn to base your self-worth on the truths of God’s Word which ultimately results in our behavior being a direct reflection of Christ.
The third study that I want to share with you today is more lengthy than the first two and delves a lot deeper into Gods Word. This study is Nourishing the Seed: Learning to Please Father God. This study really helps to deepen your relationship with Christ by dissecting scripture and analyzing our role as Christ followers here on Earth. It illustrates the importance of loving as God loves which is not always an easy task. Loving what God loves only comes as we mature in our walk with Him. Strongly recommend this book for anyone looking for a deep study of God’s Word to grow in your relationship with Him.
