Self-care
is a buzzword often mentioned when people seek to optimize their
health. Suggested self-care practices tend to include activities such as
exercising, getting a massage, or eating a healthy diet. While all of
these actions have their place, none of them are sufficient enough to
provide the soul-care we need to maximize our self-care. Self-care
without soul-care equates to temporary solutions that leave us searching
for the next new thing. However, when Christ becomes the center of our
holistic health journey, we not only find fulfillment in Him but also a
dependency on and trust in Him to truly live our best lives-emotionally,
mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Have you ever started a daily devotional but didn’t finish because you found yourself getting behind schedule and frustrated? One missed day turns into two, then the missed days pile on until we often do one of two things: a) have a marathon session to “make-up” the missed days’ readings; or b) abandon the devotional altogether. Neither of these options help with our spiritual growth. When we have marathon sessions to catch up, reading the devotional becomes a checklist item instead of us taking the time to glean the spiritual message or lesson to be learned. When we abandon reading the devotional, we miss everything still. Those great books end up collecting dust until we try again the next year only to repeat the same process.
Yep, I’ve been there! Having had such experiences, I sought to create a devotional that people could actually finish. Plus, let’s face it . . . we should read our Bibles every day, but devotionals are optional. Yet, sometimes people replace devotionals with reading the Bible. I didn’t want that either! So, Connecting with Christ is a 52-week devotional with just one reading each week. Not only was this a practical approach, but it was also purposeful. The desire behind this technique is for readers to have time to meditate on Scripture! Connecting with Christ is a devotional that readers can and will complete that will inspire them to dig more into the Word!
