My Top Ten Devotionals for Christian Women @thankfulhomemaker
My Top Ten Devotionals for Christian Women @thankfulhomemaker

Having a good, solid devotional on hand to supplement your Bible reading is a nice addition to your daily time with the Lord. I like to start my time in the Word by praying and then reading a devotional before digging into my Bible. It just seems to set my heart in a place of worship and prepares me to receive the Word.

There are many more choices than what I’ve shared below, and you can see more options at my bookshop here, too, but these were my top picks from over the years. They’re not all just for women, and if you’re looking for a gift for your husband or son, one of these may fit the bill perfectly.

One of my personal favorites that isn’t a book but a monthly subscription that I highly recommend all the time to my readers when they ask me for a recommendation is Tabletalk Magazine from Ligonier Ministries. I subscribe to the paper edition and I still find myself reading it on my iPad because I can enlarge the print.

My Top Devotional Book Recomendations:

Seasons of the Heart: A Year of Devotions from One Generation of Women to Another compiled by Donna Kelderman – I picked up this book several years ago and not only is it my personal favorite but it’s one I love to give as a gift. We gave these to the ladies at our Christmas Tea this year and they loved it. It has writings from Susannah Spurgeon, Mary Winslow, Anne Dutton and so many more. You won’t regret picking this one up for yourself or for a friend.

Morning and Evening: A New Edition of the Classic Devotional Based on The Holy Bible, English Standard Version by Charles Spurgeon edited by Alistair Begg – A classic made better if it’s possible but this version from Alistair Begg is an excellent companion to your daily Bible reading.

Keep a Quiet Heart by Elisabeth Elliot – If you’ve been here long enough you know there would be an Elisabeth Elliot one on this list. This is a beautiful devotional of some of the best reads from her newsletter.

Daily Treasure: 366 Daily Readings from Spurgeon’s Treasury of David by Charles Spurgeon edited by James Renihan – I picked this one up for my husband for a gift and almost kept it for myself after reading through several entries. It’s on my list to borrow it from him when he’s worked through it.

Voices from the Past Volume 1 OR Voices from the Past Volume 2 – by Richard Rushing – This series is a treasure trove of writings from the Puritans. It’ll become a favorite read while sipping an afternoon cup of coffee or tea ;).

For the Love of God: A Daily Companion for Discovering the Riches of God’s Word, Volume 1 & For the Love of God: A Daily Companion for Discovering the Riches of God’s Word, Volume 2 by D.A. Carson – These are meant to be read alongside your daily bible reading plan and they go along with Robert Murray M’Cheyne’s Bible reading plan for the year.

Daily Readings From the Life of Christ, Volume 1 or Daily Readings From the Life of Christ, Volume 2 or Daily Readings From the Life of Christ, Volume 3 by John MacArthur – Any one of these would be a great addition to your daily reading or they are great for family devotions too. I appreciate having them on my Kindle.

New Morning Mercies: A Daily Gospel Devotional by Paul Tripp – This is one we all should revisit on occasion.

In The Presence Of God Devotional Readings On The Attributes Of God by R. C. Sproul – Bask in the attributes of God with daily readings from R.C. Sproul.

Truth for Life: 365 Daily Devotions (A Gospel-Saturated Gift Devotional for the Entire Year – Includes a Yearly Bible Reading Plan, Durable Cover, and Ribbon Marker) by Alistair Begg – this one was new to me this year and I’m enjoying my time in it. Alistair Begg is one of my favorites to listen to and read.

One last honorable mention to share is the Topical Devotionals from Westminister Books. Sharing a small sampling below but there are more options at this link here.

I know we can all relate to self-pity as women, wi I know we can all relate to self-pity as women, wives, and mothers.  How many times do we focus on our needs that aren’t met?  Unfair situations or circumstances?  Self-pity is a selfish tendency that takes our eyes off Christ and puts them on ourselves. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We forget that “God works all things together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.” Are we able to give God “thanks in all things”?⁣⁣

"God's written Word, the Bible, is God's greatest "God's written Word, the Bible, is God's greatest earthly gift to his people, second only to the living Word, Jesus. And because the living Word perfectly lived out the written Word, we are blessed beyond measure. Jesus fulfilled every precept found in Psalm 119, keeping the principles and commandments of this psalm, and he did so on our behalf.⁣
⁣
Our failure to live wholeheartedly is covered by Jesus, who lived it perfectly for us. Ultimately, he is Psalm 119 in human form, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14)."⁣

I’m sharing a walkthrough of various tools and s I’m sharing a walkthrough of various tools and systems that help me to get things done. It’s a practical episode, and I hope to encourage you, if nothing else, to take a look at how your days are going and ask yourself some simple questions like:⁣
⁣
What is working and what is not working?⁣
Where do I find myself wasting time?⁣
Where can I make better use of my time?⁣
Can I simplify my days or various tasks or automate them?⁣
⁣
These are just a few questions to ponder, and there are many more you can ask, but the main one is to seek the Lord and ask him, are you a good steward of your time? Is your desire to honor Him amid your days and in how you spend your time?⁣
⁣
Many more than ten systems or tools help me manage my days, but these items top my list. I’ve shared more in detail on some of these in past blog posts or podcast episodes, but I wanted to put together an episode that walked through how I use each one.⁣
⁣
An episode like this one is more helpful to me than you because it helps me to think through my days and systems and tools and determine what is working for me and what isn’t.⁣

Menu planning is the answer to all those questions above. We have a jam-packed episode today filled with tons of tips, examples, and ideas, so stick with me, and I know there will be something that will appeal to each of you in some way.⁣
