BOOKS: Devotionals

Once more, I love books.

“Some things are very important and some are very unimportant. To know the difference is what we are given life to find out,” says Anna F. Trevisa.

THERE ARE BOOKS THAT ARE IMPORTANT.

The most important book is the BIBLE. The author of the Bible is the Holy Spirit, and that is the reason why the Bible is the most important book.

The Bible first, devotional books second. Most of the Devotional books I have are bought second-hand very cheap. I should actually count, how many I have. There are actually a good number. I really love the Daily Devotions by J. I. Packer called “Knowing and doing the will of God.” And here is a quote from the book: “WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT IN GOD’S SIGHT MOTIVATION IS AN INTEGRAL ELEMENT IN ACTION, AND ANY MOTIVATION THAT EXALTS SELF WILL RENDER OUR WORK ROTTEN TO THE CORE.”

And after the Bible and the devotional books expositions. At the present time I am not only reading ROMANS, the exposition of Chapter 1, “The Gospel of God,” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, but I am studying it.

THERE ARE BOOKS THAT ARE UNIMPORTANT.

You are familiar with unimportant books and I am familiar with unimportant books. There is no need to talk about the unimportant books.

Do you know that we are given life to find out the difference between important and unimportant books?

I love most of all the Bible, then the devotional books and after that expositions of books of the Bible.

Quote

“The first question that the priest … and the Levite asked was: “If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?”  But the Good Samaritan … reversed the question: “If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?” – Martin Luther King Jr.
