A Devotional Within a Devotional ~ June Foster ~Giveaway

Scripture Comes Alive: A Devotional Within a Devotional

by June Foster

I love the Bible app on my phone because there are an abundance of devotionals available.https://www.bible.com/ For example, some of the devotionals can be found under categories such as peace, joy, love, anxiety, healing, anger, hope, depression, and on and on.

I chose the topic joy and have learned so much. With the wealth of scriptures in this plan, I read each, thinking of its relevance in my life.

For example, "And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10 is one to ponder and take to heart.

The author, Craig Denison, (https://www.first15.org/) sites Psalm 16:8-11:

 "I have set the Lord always before me because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices. My flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. You make know to me the path of life, in your presence there is fullness of joy, at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." 

Wow. I'm reminded to take each one of those words to heart.

At the end of the devotional, the author writes of Paul's prayer to the Colossians. As I read it, I pictured the first century apostle with eyes closed and bearded face bowed down. He seemed to place a weathered hand on my shoulder, "May you be strengthened with all power, according to his glorious might, for all endurance and patience with joy."

I could see him and hear those words. What a blessing to start the day with! You can read the scriptures in the same way as well.
