Everyday Joys Devotional

This inspiring devotional invites you to discover the divine joys of the “ordinary” moments of each day, offering a powerful way to maintain your spiritual rhythms in between daily responsibilities and to-do lists.

Do you ever feel like the moments of life are passing by in a blur of ordinary as one day fades into another? Do you ever catch yourself wondering, Have I really lived this day? Or have I missed what matters most?

Everyday Joys Devotional is an invitation to seek God and recognize His divine presence in even the most “ordinary” moments. Whether folding clothes, tackling the day’s to-do list, or wondering how fingerprints got on the ceiling, you can join bestselling author Tama Fortner in seeing and experiencing joys on the holy ground right where you are.

With forty short, sometimes humorous and always real and thought-provoking devotions, this interactive devotional invites you to ponder the possibilities of a life lived fully in the presence of God. Each devotion offers a prayer, a point to ponder, and prompts for journaling and reflection, along with a practical yet poignant takeaway to encourage you to draw nearer to the heart of God. The peaceful, foliage-inspired artwork throughout the devotional promotes a mindset of rest even in the busiest lifestyles. Because the entries are numbered but not dated, you can follow this journey during Lent, Advent, or at any other time of year.

Rather than adding yet another item to already overloaded to-do lists and schedules, this joy-filled devotional invites you to view every moment as a moment to be lived on holy ground—because God's divine presence is always with you, waiting to be discovered at the intersection of ordinary and divine.
