Word before World: 100 Devotions to Put Jesus First
About this ebook
When you think about your life and what you value, what would you put first? When you read God's Word, are you doing so out of duty or out of a desire to delight in your Savior? When all we give Jesus is our leftovers, fear overwhelms our peace and worry clouds our vision.
Gretchen Saffles knows what it's like to struggle to put Jesus first daily. During a season of spiritual discouragement, she learned that pursuing God is ultimately not a self-help journey, but rather it's a Spirit-led surrender. This discovery led her to a simple phrase that helped her reframe how she desired to spend her time, start her days, and shape her mindset: Word before World. This three-word statement has become her morning manifesto, her afternoon anthem, and her evening comfort. When she practiced looking first to Jesus, she realized that while God's Word never changes, yet it always changes us.
In Word before World you'll discover ways to:
- Conquer the daily distractions that get in the way of time with God
- Develop a daily rhythm of seeking Jesus
- Set aside your phone, lists, and plans in order to seek direction and nourishment in God's Word instead
- Transform your worldview, schedule, dreams, and desires to align with God's purpose for your life.
Cultivate a deep love for God in this 100-day devotional journey to experience God's faithfulness and goodness. Put God's Word before the distractions of this world, believing that he will meet your every need.
