Meditation Moments

These devotions by Millie Stamm have great Bible study/commentary on the selected Bible verse for the day. There's always a life application as well making it relative for today. Even though this book was authored in 1967, the truths are timeless, because the Bible is timeless. I like the Scripture Index which lists all the Bible verses for which there are devotions as well as the dates where they can be found. This has been helpful to me as I can get her insights (she was a Bible college teacher) on a particular verse I may be studying or reading on my own.

This book has been a certain blessing in my life, as Millie Stamm's down-to-earth and practical advice about seeking Him earnestly each day has helped bring me out of many a rut, or at least point me in the right direction if I get turned around.There is one verse or so per each day of the entire year (including Feb. 29), and each of them are hard-hitting, honest questions about what we should ask ourselves or consider changing in ourselves to draw closer to Him.In the entry for June 20, she declares the defintion of meditation to be "to think in view of doing", whereas I had been simply reading the text and trying to apply it, yes, but once I thought about it, I decided that I'd only been simply CONSIDERING applying it, without actually taking the last step. The passages she selects seem to hit right on the mark for what I need each day, or awaken my idleness to something I have been neglecting. This book would be an ideal wake-up-and-read book to start the day right, perhaps with the morning coffee, but would also doubly work well as a go-to-sleep relaxer to think about while lying there silently. Please consider this book!
