The purpose of this Personal Daily Devotional is to help you develop your own devotions. For so long we have relied on others for our source of knowledge. It is easier to read what someone else has discovered. God wants a personal relationship with you, not just with the author of the devotional book you purchase. I am not saying that you should not buy a devotional, but just how do you think they created the devotional you are reading? It takes effort and time to truly know God and His ways.
The Bible was never meant to be read like a novel, it was meant to change the lives of those who would study and apply the principles found in its pages. God wants us to know Him intimately, He will only do that through hours of prayer and study. I had noticed when I first began to read the Bible, I would rely on the footnote helps to understand certain verses. After I reading for a while, I would hear God tell me to rely on Him and not the helps for understanding.
