Strength for Today: Daily Readings for a Deeper Faith

by John F. MacArthur Jr.

"How blessed is the man whose strength is in You. . . ."
--Psalm 84:5, NASB

What a wonderful opportunity you have as a Christian in this modern age to open up the Bible and, with the leading of the Holy Spirit, glean its rich truths for yourself. Your vitality as a Christian depends on doing just that. For only through consistent Bible study and prayer do you gain the spiritual strength to navigate each day with wisdom, grace, and integrity.

Offering significantly more than the typical thematic or topical anecdotes of some other devotionals, the in-depth Bible exposition of this daily study gives you a firmer grasp on many of the great passages of Scripture--passages that speak at length of Christian character, the meaning behind Christ's death and resurrection, and how we benefit from life's trials.

After a year in God's Word with this book as your companion, you will find that both your walk with Christ and your faith have grown stronger--all because you committed yourself to a daily, in-depth study of the Scriptures, and to learning more about the God who is your Strength.

One of the best devotionals you can get. I highly recommend it. This is my 2nd favorite, as his devotional, Drawing Near, is the very best I've ever read. If I had the money, I'd buy these two books for everyone I know. They're that good. He helps you have a much better understanding of core Christian beliefs, how to apply them to your life, and in the process come into a much closer relationship with the Lord.

Where I begin my day, with Scripture and coffee. :-)

I love how every month is dedicated to a specific topic to keep the reader well focused! Instead of selecting a random verse MacArthur (as he typically does) goes deep into explaining all of the nuances, practical applications and the importance of the chosen verse. This daily devotional is also available online at Gty.org.

Fantastic Daily Devotional

In a world of many daily devotional options, this is one of the best. John MacArthur is an excellent teacher and scholar, and this daily reading is one of my favorite texts of those he has written. Each month has a theme/topic (e.g., wisdom), and the daily readings focus on the designated topic in short, thoughtful teachings that can only add to one’s faithful journey to better understand scripture and grow closer to God.

Another great devotional by John MacArthur! He provides a wonderful analysis on many passages of Scripture that communicate at length on the subject of Christian character, the significance of Christ's llife, death and resurrection, and how we can profit from the trials we face throughout life.

Doesn't mess around!

Pastor Johnny Mac doesn't mess around. He fires from the pulpit and he does in "Stength". This devo is KILLER!
