What an amazing devotional—full of encouragements and God’s promises! This book would be a wonderful asset to women searching for promises to cling to during the hardships and turmoil of life! I found it to be full of the wonderful truths and promises hidden in the Word of God for believers to find and hold to 💛

I love the setup of these devotions! Each page starts with Scripture and ends with a prayer, reminding us to seek God in everything. The daily devotion is short and easy to digest, making it a quick way to receive daily encouragement and focus your brain on the Lord, who should be your number one priority!

This devotional also did an excellent job at driving home the point that we should find our security in God—and God alone! This world and all of its possessions are but for a season, whereas our souls live forever, so we much choose wisely what—or whom—we are putting our trust in.

There were a few small things mentioned in the text of this devotional that I didn’t 100% agree with, but they weren’t big enough issues to make me appreciate the book any less. I would simply advice readers to use some discernment while reading ☺️

I received a complimentary arc of this book from NetGalley and Barbour Publishing. All opinions listed are purely my own.

[A.C. Cuddy · Rating 5 out of 5]

“The Bible is full of God's promises to His people. His promises stand even today… and He makes good on every single one. The land God promised to the Israelites was described as a land overflowing with milk and honey (Deuteronomy 6:3), a land bountiful in goodness and blessings.

As you read and meditate on the soul-nourishing inspiration and prayers in this delightful devotional, you'll learn to claim the "milk and honey" promises of scripture—God's promises of abundant blessings and provision—as your very own. With each turn of the page, you'll encounter a biblically rooted promise and practical devotional truth that will bless your heart and nurture your spirit today and all your days to come.”

I had the pleasure of reading this inspirational devotional. It is beautifully arranged with lovely finishing touches.

Each of the 180 entries, includes a timely Bible verse along with a devotional to ponder and pray. This book would make a lovely gift, or an additional to your daily personal worship time.

Disclosure: I received this book free via NetGalley. The opinions I have expressed are my own, and I was not required to write a positive review

This is a beautiful book! It definitely will draw your attention to it if you see it sitting on a shelf or lying next to your Bible. The devotions are meaningful and based on a daily verse. I liked the variety of topics and felt they were covered from a woman's point of view. Each day you will come away with hope in the Lord and a verse or saying to think about during the day. I think it would be a wonderful gift for a birthday, wedding shower or Mother's Day.

I would like to thank the publisher and Netgalley for the temporary ARC digital copy that I read and left my personal thoughts on.
