Today in the Word Devotional

I had to take time to write in thanking Dr Bradley Baurain for His devotionals for July 2023 which focus is on the Gift of the Word of God. My wife and I have been reading Today in the Word for the past couple years along with the Scripture associated with the devotional. When we complete the devotional we use it to form our prayer that precedes the devotional as we pray for our daily needs and gratitudes. It has been the greatest blessing in our life during this time. Dr Baurain's focus on the gift of God's Word has been clearly taught and thought provoking as well as life changing for us. I am a student myself at 58 at an online college and just want to thank Moody Bible Institute for providing resources like this to help us not just to be informed of the great truths of His Word but to help us be transformed by the renewing of our mind. If you are considering which devotional resource to use, Today in the Word is my recommendation because it actually applies Scripture accurately and effectively so that your life will without a doubt be impacted by it. God bless Today in the Word!

The secret to success is in your daily routine, I’ll read the devotional, and listen to moody radio, throughout the day, everyday. This helps keep me honest, hard working, and equipped to take on the devil in his playground here on earth. If I get busy and can’t sit down and read it I’ll listen to the devotional with my headphones during a workout, or in my car speakers. There’s really no excuse to not stay in the spirit, especially with all this technology, I love it. If your stuck on antisocial media watching the worldly debate between democrat and republican, give it a rest. By the way for all my white evangelicals, Jesus is not a European white person. He’s from the Middle East. Make sure all you white evangelicals pray to the right one, not the alt right, all white Jesus that most fake Christian’s who don’t know suffering, pray too!

I have been reading this devotional the past 3 years and have found nothing that comes close out there. Each day it’s written in such a way that is not only full of wisdom and truth that I feel God is directly guiding me, but I learn so much about how those in the Bible who have come before us have lived. Their problems, doubts and worries have come alive to me. And isn’t that what it’s all about? We Christians sometimes think we are unique in what we face in this world, these times and situations are too different from biblical times. But, even as our Lord has knitted us to be unique, the problems we face as humans are no different; just the time in history. Today in the Word shines a light, God’s light and wisdom for all of us. Thank you Moody Bible Institute that your writers seek God’s spirit each day before they sit down and write these. What wisdom, insight, strength and encouragement we are provided with each day. May God continue to bless the work they have been entrusted to do.
