Introduction

If you have been wandering around, looking for the magical motivation or the right resources to pull you closer to God - this devotional was written for you!

This devotional book was written for you if you are: Someone who is viewing this invitation into the Christian journey for the first time. Someone who is stepping back into the Christian journey after a while away. Someone who needs a pick-me-up and something new to bring life back into their devotion times. Someone who loves God and longs to be closer to Him, but doesn’t know where to begin. Although God is everywhere and there is no limit to where we can encounter Him, there are some things that we can put in place that will ensure that we are open to hearing Him speak. You can imagine a radio that needs to be tuned into the correct station - we need to tune our lives to hear God clearly and without interruptions. You must continually tune your spirit to the same frequency God operates.

Over the following 30 days, we will jump into the Bible and see how it speaks into our daily lives. Once done, you will be guided on the next steps to maintain this new habit of spending time in the Word of God every day. I am hopeful that after going through this 30-day devotional, you will be closer to Jesus and you will have a deeper understanding of Him. My prayer is that God becomes real and near to you as you journey through the following pages. May you be refreshed!
