My
Review:
Jesus Daily is an excellent new interactive devotional
written by Aaron Tabor, founder of popular Facebook page, Jesus Daily. Each
month covers a different theme and some of these themes are “Jesus is the
answer, Jesus Heals, Jesus Changed My Life”, and much more. The book contains beautiful
illustrations to draw readers into God’s Holy presence. It also has a nice ribbon
bookmark in it to help you find the next day easier. Each day has a main scripture
verse and a wonderful lesson to encourage readers through this difficult walk
of life. It also enclosed a connect feature which is designed to ignite readers
into reaching out and interacting with others and showing them the love of
Christ.
I was selected to post my review today, December 3.
Today’s teaching told the story of the angel appearing to
Mary telling her that a child was going to be born to her. Mary was told she
would conceive and have a son and to name him Jesus. The angel assured her to
not be afraid because she found favor from God. Imagine for a minute that an
angel just appeared to you declaring you’re carrying God’s chosen child who
would forever change the entire world. If you can’t imagine an angel appearing
before you, then picture waiting for the results of an EPT test. Like most
people who have ever taken a pregnancy test, you have mixed emotions:
excitement, fear, and maybe even a little scared to death waiting for those
long results to see if one’s on the way or more than one. Not to mention, Mary
was engaged to be married and it wasn’t Joseph’s child. As we all know people
would gossip and pass judgment and believe they had premarital sex even when it
wasn’t the truth. But when God gave Mary favor it changed her life and everyone
around her for generations to come.
It’s always tough when our circumstances don’t look good in
the natural and we don’t understand His plan for our life in this present
moment. In the bigger scope of looking at life, we will eventually see that His
plan is far better than we will realize. But one touch of God’s favor changed
her life instantly and one touch of His favor can also change yours! That dry
season and drought in your life dramatically can be changed with one touch of
His favor! That couple who is having infertility problems one touch of God’s
favor and boom you’re expecting. The adoption process that is taking forever
and suddenly you receive an unexpected call that you’re approved for adoption
and everything works out. The married couple who is angry and bitter at their
spouse and can’t even stand sleeping next to their spouse anymore and one touch
of His favor and hearts are soften and love is rekindled. The breakup that has
almost killed you’re self-worth and you’re thinking you will never find love
again and one touch of God’s favor and boom you fall in love again and this
time it’s with a way better person. You lost your job and you’re struggling to
find another one and boom with God’s favor you find a way better job. That
person who has an addiction and is struggling to be set free, one touch of God’s
favor and you’re craving is gone. Sickness and disease is causing you to have immense
fear in your life and one touch of His power and your body is healed.
Today’s devotional reminded me to always remember to notice
the favor of God in small and big things. Favor can be simple things such as someone
giving you a good parking space to bigger things such as receiving an
unexpected financial blessing. It’s viral to take the time and pay attention to
God’s favor in your life.
I would highly recommend checking this devotional out and
seriously letting it help you to refocus on enjoying God’s presence.
