Review of Jesus First for Men: 365 Devotions to Start Your Day
Brothers, have you ever found yourself in a spiritual dry season? I remember one such time in my own life, feeling distant from God amid the chaos of everyday responsibilities. It was during a particularly prayer-filled morning when I stumbled upon Jesus First for Men by BroadStreet Publishing. The very title struck a chord within me, echoing the deep yearning many of us face—the need to prioritize our relationship with Christ in our hectic lives.
This devotional is structured as a series of 365 brief yet impactful entries, each designed to guide you in starting your day with Jesus at the forefront. The themes cover everything from daily challenges and spiritual growth to gratitude and perseverance. The insights drawn from Scripture are not just comforting; they challenge us to reflect on our hearts and align our actions with God’s purpose. I found the biblical depth steadying, reminding me of God’s character—faithful, loving, and always present.
What really stood out for me was how each devotion brings clarity, urging that setting aside time for God isn’t merely recommended; it’s essential. In today’s world, where distractions abound, the encouragement to spend quiet moments with our Savior is a much-needed reminder. One of the devotions struck me deeply as I read its tie to Matthew 6:33, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” This prompted me to journal and realign my priorities, something I had lost track of amid life’s demands.
The book’s format is also noteworthy. The high-quality faux leather cover gives it a sense of warmth and durability, and the Smyth-sewn binding ensures it lays flat, making it easy to read and reflect without losing your place. Each devotion is concise, making it perfect for busy men seeking a quick yet meaningful quiet time. The included Scripture references and reflection prompts are helpful tools to deepen your understanding and facilitate conversation with God throughout your day.
What I love most is that Jesus First for Men is more than just a devotional—it’s a call to action. It invites us to cultivate new spiritual habits and strengthens our resolve to lead with conviction and grace. In these pages, I discovered a renewed sense of purpose and courage to embrace my role as a husband and father with God’s Word as my rock.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend this devotional, whether you’re navigating a challenging season or simply seeking to enhance your daily faith practice. It has become a beloved staple in my spiritual toolbox, drawing me closer to Jesus and reinforcing my commitment to serve Him.
