A great way to start a glorious day filled with positivity and enthusiasm is by diving into the world of devotionals. These spiritual gems, carefully crafted for men, women, teens, and more, provide a profound opportunity to indulge in God’s word and unearth invaluable lessons each day. Just like any habit that requires nurturing, incorporating daily devotionals into your routine demands nothing more than a bit of determination.

As someone who has zealously embraced this practice for countless years now, I wholeheartedly confess that my mornings feel incomplete without the soothing embrace of my morning reading. Picture it this way: we eagerly engage in conversations with our closest companions or beloved spouse every single day; so why wouldn’t we yearn for that heart-to-heart connection with God Himself? Let the inspiration of devotionals guide you towards soulful wisdom as you savor every word on this fleeting journey through life. ~ Bill Greguska

Devotionals Are A Important Part Of A Spiritual Life!


 

Start Having Your Own Quiet Time With God?

I have been journaling for the past couple of years now. In my quiet time in the morning in the bathroom, I search the scriptures with either my concordance or page through my Bible, which is marked up. I then take the scripture verse in my 8 x 11 notebook. I put the date on, and then I comment on the scripture. I also like to read the entire chapter of whatever scripture I choose for the day.

Then I write down both praises and prayer requests in the bottom half of the notebook. When I am done with that, I read all that I wrote, including a list of about five things I want to accomplish that day. (the next day, I check off the things I accomplished and the things I failed to achieve, and I add them to the new day). Having done all of this, I pray about my prayer requests and ask God for direction for the day.

 


 

Use My Ideas And Fit Them Into Your Plans.

Remember that any new habit can be hard to start, so I recommend starting slow and building up. Be more concerned about having daily quiet time, no matter how much. 5-10 minutes each morning (morning is the best time. Otherwise, we tend to get busy as the day starts.

I do my quiet time before I eat. First, feed the soul, then feed the body.  I started years ago by reading a flip-up devotional and praying for a few minutes, and now I enjoy my quiet time with God so much I get up 2 hours before I start work at 7:00 to have enough time to fit in my time with God, shower, shave, eat breakfast, and have time to drive to work. ~ Bill Greguska

 


 

 

 

WHAT IS S.O.A.P.?

S.O.A.P. journaling is a fantastic way to record what God has spoken to you as you read His word. Later on, it is beneficial to look back to see what God has done in your life. If you don’t write these notes down, you may forget the many blessings and insights you have gained! The things you learn will be a treasure for you both now and later.

Scripture

Take the time to read your Bible that you need to allow God to speak to your heart and mind. After reading, look for a specific verse that spoke to you and write it in your journal.

 


 

Observation

Decide what you can take from the reading and possibly apply it to your life. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes and uniquely open your ears.

 


 

Application

Ask God to help you apply what you have read in a way that can make a difference in your life or the life of someone you know. It could be in the form of specific instruction, encouragement, promise, or corrections for a particular area in life that you might be struggling in. Write down how the scripture can directly or indirectly apply to your life today.

 


 

Prayer

Pray that God uses the scripture to comfort you, strengthen you, give you wisdom, and share God’s love more with others. Ask God what He wants you to learn, and then pray that you can apply the scripture to your life and the lives of those you know.
