In our culture, it can be difficult to define manhood and especially with few Christian role models to help guide the way for Christian men. The modern man faces tremendous pressure to have all the answers when it comes to balancing a career, children, relationships and family life. Time is in demand and that can complicate our lives. We can look to Jesus for guidance in these troubled times and use Bible study tools to light our paths.
The Bible says:
How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. – Psalm 119:9 (NIV)
Christian men can balance the pressures of life by checking in with God each day but sometimes we need a reminder. There are endless resources including daily devotional apps, online Bible study plans and much more. Read on for five of the best daily devotionals for men.
