Most men know we “should” do devotions, but “shoulds” don’t always inspire, do they? As we look at various ways of building a healthy devotional life this week, we want to focus on two things: 

1. The purpose of devotions is to cultivate a devoted life. 

2. A life devoted to Jesus is incomparably good and available to all. 

Written by Tim Pippus.

In this devotional, we will walk alongside Abraham, a man who walked through his own long season of waiting to see God’s promises fulfilled. Through his story, we’ll discover what to expect and how to grow as we navigate our own seasons of waiting on God’s promises. And ultimately, we'll see how Jesus himself—the true offspring of Abraham—brings deeper meaning to our waiting, standing as the final fulfillment of God's promises to all who follow in Abraham’s footsteps of faith.
