A Daily Devotional Help

Reading Scripture doesn’t have to be intimidating.

I’m Tim Conrad, an ordained minister in the Wesleyan Church of Canada, and I want to help you to abide, to remain—to be in Jesus each day through putting his Word before us each day.

Each of these ‘episodes’ will be about 10-minutes long. In them, I’ll read for us a portion of Scripture out loud, offer some brief, in-the-moment thoughts about what we’ve read, say a simple prayer, and read the Scripture once more. These moments together are not pre-scripted, this is simply one of the ways that I seek to be in Christ and I’m inviting you to join me.

I hope you can see what even ten minutes a day spent in quiet reflection on the Word of God does for your hope and confidence in Jesus. I hope that you will see how it will help you have a Christ-oriented perspective on life. Take Jesus at his word when he says, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples” and “I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing” (John 8:31, 15:5, ESV)

Make the most of your time here. Find a quiet place, put some headphones on, grab a copy of the Bible, put your phone in airplane mode, and take even just ten minutes at a time to take in God’s Word. I think you’ll be glad you did.

Grace and peace,

* Tim
