but today this came to light, so I’m sharing, thinking I’d best share this with you before they are lost in the shuffle of life…
For years now, upon arising each morning and after my initial prayer of thanksgiving for one more day, this dailylightdevotional.org and My Utmost For His Highest, are absolutely the first two written documents I read every morning to gain His perspective before anything else trivializes my mind. And I have encouraged many of my friends to consider, if they are serious about being a disciple of Jesus, to commit to a trial year of doing the same with dailylightdevotional.org before deciding it’s worthiness as being the focus of their daily first reading of scripture….
May I explain why I’m so enamored with dailylightdevotional.org?
First, it’s in KJV, for universality, though frequently I go to other versions for greater understanding, leading to reading multiple verses, if not entire chapters to gain clarity.
Second, it comes only with an AM & PM designation with no other words to skew my thinking toward a particular vein of thinking. Whatever may surface will either be my intuition, or perhaps better, the prompting of the Spirit. As far as I’ve yet discerned, the pervading thought formed from the scriptures in the morning and evening portions, are not related, being distinctively different.
Thirdly, and this point is so key for me, for even though I attempt to meaningfully blog as compelled by His leading, I so appreciate dailylightdevotional.org because it is only scripture, and nothing else. In our media crazed culture with skads of available good blogs and podcasts to choose from, I am detecting it is becoming rare for many Christians to ever choose to read or hear scripture without getting a preponderance of someone’s else’s “supporting evidence.” Personally, I thrive and perform best when I’m forced to connect His dots myself; not that I don’t enjoy and value the insights from the internet for variety, etc.
