Devotionals
A ‘devotional’ is simply the name given to a list of Bible Readings for a set period of time (like a week, or month) on a specific subject or Book of Bible – usually accompanied by a couple of thought-provoking questions and maybe a prayer on the passage for each day.
One of the benefits of using ‘devotionals’ is to bring some structure and discipline to your personal walk with God – keeping you ‘in the Bible’ and on track! Engaging regularly with the Bible is a key way that God speaks to us and shapes us.
Another benefit can be when devotionals are done with others – a group of friends, or a Life Group, or even the whole church - reading and considering the same Bible Readings and reflective questions together each day – and maybe sharing their thoughts with each other.
Below we have compiled a number of YouVersion devotionals that might be helpful for you and your personal walk with God. For more information on each devotional or to begin one through the YouVersion App, just click the image of that devotion. Through YouVersion you can choose to do plans ‘privately’ or to join with friends to complete a devotion together.
