Lord, I Give You This Day - Book Review

My favorite devotionals are condensed with thoughtful/prayerful insights; no silly stories or fluffy illustrations to make a point. Lord, I Give You This Day, by Kay Arthur, fits the category.  Each daily entry is applicable to the reader’s life by asking pointed questions, like “how will you respond to suffering?” and “do you shudder at your own inability to be holy?”

This devotional provides snippets of the best of Kay Arthur’s best teachings for daily reading on a single page, blending with Scripture and closing with a short prayer. 

She speaks with strength and tenderness into life’s demands and uncertainties. She gives biblical direction into situations such as when struggling with choices others make, being unjustly attacked, seeking approval, experiencing self-condemnation, operating in the strength in our flesh, fighting temptation, conforming to the world, etc. She applies to daily life the doctrines of salvation, grace, forgiveness, predestination, worship, prayer, etc.

If you are looking for a power-packed devotional to jump-start your day in a way that will stick with you all day long, as well as build your faith, I highly recommend this book.
