Thirty daily devotions to inspire you to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling!

“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.” – Philippians 2:12

As Paul commanded the church of Philippi to rely upon the Word of God rather than man’s teachings, to cultivate their own faith rather than sharing in another’s, Grace A. Johnson has written thirty simple but inspirational devotions that are geared to readers of all ages and stages in life. Meant to motivate readers to dig into the Word, prompt them to examine their relationship with God, and encourage them to walk in victory, the devotions include applicable Scripture passages, relatable true stories, and inspirational prayers.

“My prayer is that God will use these devotions to prick your heart, fuel your convictions, and ignite a desire to grow more in your faith and start living according to God’s purpose for your life!” – Grace A. Johnson

Review
There were parts about this devotional that I really enjoyed and loved. It really spoke to me and made me more determined to spend more time reading and studying my Bible. I was amazed by how great it was! It was definitely what I needed for that portion of my life.

But then there were parts that just wasn’t my cup of tea, as I think you’ll find with any devotional you read. Still, a good devotional and perfect for you if you’re looking for something with more depth than a lot of devotionals today! It was definitely heart felt and spirit led, and I really enjoyed that about it. (And, can we just take a moment to recognize what an amazing cover that is?)

If you’re looking for a devotional that breaks the norm of regular devotionals, this one’s for you!

Faith is not just a thing or an idea or a feeling. It’s an action, a step you take and a leap you
make into God’s purpose and destiny for you.

― Grace A. Johnson, With Fear and Trembling
