The Value of Choice Devotional Reading

Nothing is more helpful and practical in Christian living than the habit of getting a verse or phrase of Scripture into the mind and heart in the morning. Its influence stays through the day, weaving itself into all the day's thoughts and words and experiences.


Every verse in the Bible is meant to help us to live and a good devotional book opens up the precious teachings which are folded up in Scripture.


A devotional book, which takes a Scripture text, and so opens it for us in the morning that all day long it helps us to live, becoming a true lamp for our feet, and a staff to lean upon when the way is rough is the very best help we can possibly have. What we need in a devotional book which will bless our lives is the application of the great teachings of Scripture to common, daily, practical life.


[J. R. Miller]






Psalm 119:105 … Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
