“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.”
Matthew 26:41 (KJV)
Sound familiar?
You mean to start the day with God.
Then the phone lights up, the inbox fills and the day is already running. Most devotionals feel written for someone else, so they end up in a drawer.
But a man who loves watches already knows how to give a few minutes every day to something he cares about. These books put those minutes to work.
A devotional in your language
Let the watch on your wrist point you back to God
Each reading opens with a passage from the King James Bible and ends with the story of a watch: who made it, why, and what it says about the One who made time. Then, all day long, the watch on your wrist has something to remind you of.
