Our Best Daily Devotional Books to Start Every Day with God

Build a Habit of Daily Quiet Time

  • Make Jesus a priority every day!

Confession: Even though I’ve been a believer for decades, until I started working for FaithGateway curating for Devotionals Daily, I had only read from 365-day devos a handful of times. Little did I know how important they’d become in my daily walk with Christ! Once I started reading a variety of devotionals, each one started to feel like a treasure… like scripture-filled, easily digestible conversations with a friend. My pile of favorite devos continues to grow!

If you don’t know already, there’s nothing more faith-strengthening and edifying than starting the day quietly with God, reading the Word, and hearing His voice. It’s essential!

Don’t make it complicated. It doesn’t have to be first thing in the morning (although that’s my favorite time). Different seasons of life have different requirements on your day. When I had little ones, morning were pretty impossible because I was focused on getting as much sleep as possible during the dark hours before the small people woke up, so I saved my Bible reading for nap time. Now that they’re grown, early mornings are much more available. Don’t be so concerned with the when just make a regular divine appointment, grab your Bible and a devotional, and enjoy! God is always with us, always ready to speak into our lives through reading the Word of God, impressing His thoughts on us through the Holy Spirit, and hearing our prayers.

Daily Devotionals are fantastic tools for your quiet time with Jesus! I can’t recommend them enough. Choose one from your favorite author, or on a specific topic, or even seasonal titles! You’ll be glad you did.
