The Word for Your Journey (31 Christ-Centered Readings)

Success or survival? When "will I succeed today?" becomes "will I survive today?" the only reality that can bring you through each day is a daily encounter with Jesus and His Word. The beginning of Colossians 3:16 says "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly..." Only this lavish interaction with your Savior's loving words can bring hope to survive each day. Few of the writings of Octavius Winslow, friend and contemporary of Charles Spurgeon, are still in print. But this 31-day collection of Winslow opens up and engages you with all of God's Word and proves that Jesus loves us deeply and will bring us through the end of our difficult journey. Sample Day - "Divine Love Questioned" Malachi 1:2 "'I have loved you,' says the LORD. Yet you say, 'In what way have You loved us?'" Was there every a lower ingratitude than this? And yet, my soul, you must study his love. Haven't you, in spite of countless evidences of your Lord's love to you, often doubted its reality? Have you questioned the wisdom, righteousness, and tenderness of his dealings with you? But listen to the divine declaration of his love! God himself states it firmly; so who can dare call it into question? I have loved you. What evidences does the Lord give of the reality of his love to us? Take the display of God's love...
