Bible v Devotional

I hear so many people talk about how they can't get through their day without a devotional. They don't feel right if they haven't done their devotion. Their daily devotions is what keeps them on track.

I cringe when I hear people talking about how great their devotionals are.

Devotions are nice. You get to see how God is speaking to someone else. You can learn for someone else's conversations with God.

Yep. Devotionals are nice.

I would rather have God speak to me directly. I have never failed to learn something when I read my bible. I get greedy for God to speak to me when I turn the pages. The truth that pours out and the insights and wisdom that it holds.

That is what the Bible is for. Diving in, drinking deep, and losing yourself in God.

I need to hear God talk to me. It's a craving I can never fill.

I like to hear what God said to someone else.

I love hearing God speak to me. His Word is the first devotional we all should use.

Does this devotional-craze have a direct correlation to how little we think for ourselves now? Just another reason to not have to find out truth on our own?

Or do people just hate to study on what they claim matters to them? Are they unwilling to take the time to get to know God on a more intimate level?

God studies us. He knows us. Yet so few of us give Him the same treatment. We would rather have someone else's interpretation of God.

Bible v Devotional

I side with the bible. Every time.
