Daily devotional

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daily devotionals have a long tradition in religious communities[citation needed]. Daily devotionals classically are publications which provide a specific reading each day for the audience. The daily devotional tends to be associated with a daily time of prayer and meditation.

Daily devotionals, while common is the Christian religion, can be found in many other traditions as well. Classic examples of devotionals include Leo Tolstoy's A Calendar of Wisdom: Daily Thoughts to Nourish the Soul, Written and Selected from the World’s Sacred Texts and Oswald Chambers My Utmost for His Highest.[1], [2]

Traditionally daily devotionals came in the format of a book, with one passage of reading for each day. With the advent of online content, daily devotionals come in multiple formats including blogs, websites, and emails. There continues to be a multitude of devotional books and calendars, in additional to numerous online devotionals, that can be tailored to any different type of recipient, denomination, or view.
