What if I told you you could transform your day in only 10 minutes a day?

It really is possible and as simple as grabbing a devotional and your Bible and spending a few minutes with the Lord.

How do I know this to be true?

There have been seasons in my life when I fell off the wagon and didn’t have my morning quiet time with the Lord. When I would pick it up a few days or even weeks later it would be transforming. The words would fly off the pages and speak deep into my heart. And I’ll be honest, I was amazed at how much smoother my day would go.

I’ve seen the transformation in my life and I want the same for you!

Why are devotions or a daily quiet time with the Lord so important?

My pastor explained it best!

Picture a sailboat on the water. Unless the sailboat has it’s sails up it’s not going to move and will sit stagnant on the water. But once the captain puts up the sails his boat will start soaring.

Much like the sailboat keeping the sails down, when we fail to spend time with the Lord each day we become stagnant and our faith doesn’t grow.

The next time you sit down for your quiet time put the sail up in your heart and picture yourself sailing along with Jesus, learning more about Him and drawing closer to Him.

Here are 6 of my favorite devotions for women with daily lessons that can be done in as little as 10 minutes a day.

1. Jesus Calling: Enjoying Peace In His Presence by Sarah Young

Number of Daily Devotions: 365

The devotions in Jesus Calling are written as if Jesus is speaking to us.

Each time I dive into the pages of this devotion it speaks deep into my heart…as if Jesus is speaking directly to my heart.

At the bottom of each day’s devotion Sarah includes verses that reference the scripture she used to write the devotion. I use these to dig deeper into the Word and often read the verses before and after (or even the entire chapter) to get the full context of the original scripture.

2. The Chosen: 40 Days With Jesus by Amanda Jenkins

Number of Daily Devotions: 40

This devotion is written by the same writers of The Chosen tv series. Much like the tv series, the Bible will come to life and make Jesus feel like an everyday person. You will see the words from scripture through the eyes of the people that Jesus encountered.

I love that this devotional has a daily prayer focus.

There are also thought-provoking questions to encourage you to dig deeper in your life and and help you think about what you’ve read each day.

6. Lived Loved by Max Lucado

Number of Daily Devotions: 150

Each devotion in Lived Loved includes a powerful excerpt from one of Max’s books, a prayer and Bible verses.

I love the way Max writes…it’s as if he’s an older brother wrapping his arm around me and kindly pointing me in the right direction.

My favorite part about each devotion is the prayer that draws us into communication with the Lord. Sometimes we don’t know where to start and this gives us the push that we need.
