Book Cover & Preview Text
Do you desire to get more from the Bible when you read it? Are you searching for simplicity, clarity and substance when you read God's word? More importantly, do you desire to get a better understanding of God's word by knowing how to apply it to your life? This brief but impactful devotional will help you do just that. Spending moments each day with God is like spending moments with someone you love. The more you do it, the deeper your love grows. Your relationship becomes more authentic and you begin to see changes in your life as a result of spending moments with God. James says to draw near to God and He will draw nearer to you. This devotional is about getting to the heart of knowing God in a personal way and practicing that in your day-to-day life. James' practical approach moves you towards establishing a quality relationship with God, others and yourself. James focuses on the very essence of life. He talks about fairness, justice, discrimination, anger, listening, love, authentic religion, the tongue and many other topics. These are things we deal with every day. If you want to know what God says about these matters and how to handle them when confronted, this devotional will help guide you.
Another unique thing about this devotional is that it focuses on one book of the Bible rather than many. This approach is intentional. I believe that reading one part of the Bible consistently and systematically helps a person grow in understanding God's word rather than jumping from scripture to scripture or book to book. As a believer, you will never exhaust the reading and studying of God's word and you are not mandated to do so. However, you are instructed to do two important things; love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as you love yourself. James teaches in a simple way how to do that, so if this is what you desire in your spiritual journey with God, I encourage you to spend, “A Moment with God.”
