Subtitled, Discovering God’s Extraordinary Gifts, this is a 30-day guide to loving Jesus without limits.
When Jesus was on earth, He touched many lives in different ways. From healing, to giving life, to his teaching…and even today, He is changing lives, for anyone who chooses to accept His gifts.
Completely Blessed take a look at Jesus’ miracles, parables, and His daily life, and will teach you how to have a meaningful life in Christ. You will learn about His amazing gifts, and find that Jesus has provided exactly what you need to live the life you long for.
Completely Blessed is the companion devotional to Completely His and in the introduction, the author recommends that the books are read together as a set, to get the most of the devotional. I didn’t have the pleasure of reading Completely His, but since this is recommended, then I suggest following the author’s advice.
The devotionals have titles such as:
• A gift that keeps on giving
• Power over the enemy
• A firm foundation
• A resting place for our worries
• The gift of the Holy Spirit
• A rich reward
• Plus much more.
There are thirty devotionals, one for each day of the month and there is interaction with plenty of space to fill in your thoughts. The devotionals start out with scripture reading, a brief story that fits in with the main idea and then the application, in a section apply named Holding His Hand. It then ends with a brief prayer.
This devotional won’t take much time out of a busy day, but yet will give the reader a firm foundation for their daily walk with Christ. I recommend this, if you or someone you know wants to start a daily quiet time.
Armchair Interviews says: This would also be good devotionals for church ministries.
