“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.” Proverbs 9:10
What are some good daily devotionals for: Teenagers? 20 to 30 year olds? Those who are retired?
I’ll really have to work on answering this because when it comes to devotionals, I use only one. It’s my book Praying the Attributes of God. It was first published by Kregel in 2003 and is still in print. It’s a one-month devotional that I have used through the years. You can get it from Rafiki or Amazon.
Ordinarily, I just read the Bible itself and a good commentary in my quiet time in the mornings. At night I have sometimes read through the Psalms. That is what I would recommend for retirees like me.
For 20 to 30 year olds, I would suggest reading through the Bible in a year. I believe you would enjoy Paul Tripp’s devotional Everyday Gospel. It’s Scripture plus a one-page devotional commentary.
For teenagers, my great-grandchildren like Tim Tebow’s Mission Possible, a year-long devotional that can be bought at Walmart. They surprised me the other day when they said they have also used Praying the Attributes of God.
The main thing I would suggest for any Christian is to read the Bible itself. Devotionals are fine as long as they lead you to Scripture. Just don’t skip the Scriptures. It’s the Bible you want to read not just somebody’s thoughts about the Bible.
Start reading!!!!
Amen! We cannot overstate the importance of reading the Word. Thank you for the good devotional suggestions.
