<p><p>When Christians hear the word, devotion, it’s likely that they’ll imagine a small, hardback book with gilded pages and a silky ribbon attached to it. Those are great; I love those tiny books. But when I look in the Bible, even in the dictionary, devotion tells a different story. I like Google’s definition of devotion: “love, loyalty, or enthusiasm for a person, activity, or cause.” In the Bible, Hezekiah finds out from a prophet that he will not be healed of his serious illness. Naturally distraught, Hezekiah cries out to God in 2 Kings 20:3.</p> <p><i>“Remember, LORD, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.”</p></i> <p>God knew and remembered this man’s devotion. Before Hezekiah left the Temple, God told the prophet Isaiah to tell Hezekiah: <i>“This is what the LORD, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you,”</i> 2 Kings 20:5. And Hezekiah went on to live in devotion to God on this earth for another 15 years.</p> <p>This is a list summarizing 25 free email devotionals that are researched, written, formatted, and sent out to inspire your love, loyalty, and enthusiasm (aka: devotion) for the LORD. When God’s people devote themselves to him, he notices and remembers. Sometimes “having quiet time” or “doing devotionals” can feel like it doesn’t really matter. But bowing your heart and sacrificing your time – one of your most valuable resources – to the LORD matters. He sees your devotion and remembers. Many of these email devotionals include provoking questions, journaling prompts, prayer suggestions, and additional scripture to read. Whether you’re looking to spend 15 minutes or 45 minutes in a new devotional, we’ve got you covered.</p> <p><b>Discover one that’s right for you by browsing through these summaries and reading a sample.</p></b> <p><span style="font-size:10px;">Photo Credit: Pexels</span></p>
