July 22, 2016 – The Christian “App” Devotions
Daily Bible Inspirations iOS | Android (The World Map of Christian Apps: 48 tools every Christian should know about; by Jeffrey Kranz)

“As we work together with him, we urge you also not to accept the grace of God in vain. For he says,
“At an acceptable time I have listened to you,
and on a day of salvation I have helped you.”
See, now is the acceptable time; see, now is the day of salvation! We are putting no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, but as servants of God we have commended ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, holiness of spirit, genuine love, truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; as unknown, and yet are well known; as dying, and see—we are alive; as punished, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything.” 2 Corinthians 6:1-10

Daily Bible Inspirations serves up Bible verses and inspiring images once a day on your phone or tablet. The verses are organized by an ordained pastor, and the images are easy to share on social media.

From their app page: This is the perfect app for you if you are a busy parent, a grandparent, a new Christian, a student, or anyone that wants to reconnect with God on a daily basis but may not always have time for daily devotions. All verses are personally curated by an ordained pastor with a PhD in Theology. (So they’re never pulled from a cold, impersonal database by a computer.)

We all need easy access to the word of G-d and the teachings of Jesus each and every day. That is why some of the Apps I have shared with you are so important. They put the word of G-d in your hands no matter where you and your phone or tablet or other device goes throughout your day.

As I listen to the descriptions of the victims of the “murders” in Nice, France, I have learned that 10 of those killed were children, and 20 people are still in comas. There are no words for the horror that the families who were there, let alone those who lost loved ones, experienced in those few minutes of terror. It is for situations like this that we download apps like “Daily Bible Inspirations”. We can, in just a few seconds, upload words of scripture to help bring us hope, to help form our prayers, and to bring us peace when surrounded by despair. Again, this is a good App to have on your device.
