Every year, we recommend daily devotionals to accompany your Bible reading. This year, instead of suggesting several options, we’ve selected one devotional for 2025. We are encouraging our entire church to use In the Lord I Take Refuge by Dane Ortlund.

This devotional walks through the entire book of Psalms, showing how each Psalm is relevant to the Christian life. The chapters are short and easily digestible, making them manageable even on busy days. It is designed for 150 days and includes the full ESV text of each Psalm. If you choose to read the Psalm one day and the commentary the next, the devotional can nearly last the entire year (not counting Sundays).

We have selected this book for the following reasons:

1. The chapter lengths are achievable, even on busy days.
2. The commentary consistently points to Christ and the gospel.
3. Reading the Psalms aligns with our Bible reading plan for 2025.

By selecting one devotional to read as a church, we will be journeying through the Psalms together. Devotional books help us slow down, ponder specific aspects of Scripture, and worship God with all our hearts. The Holy Spirit can use a daily devotional to deepen our love for God. We hope you pick up a copy today and join us on the path to Mount Zion!
