Because God is personal and relational, He desires a personal relationship with every one of us. God invites us to come apart each day for some quiet time with Jesus. When we do this, our Lord speaks and we hear; then He hears as we share our hearts, and He changes us in His presence.

Daily quiet times with Jesus are an amazing and treasured opportunity. The life-changing principle we can apply in His presence each day is Because God . . . I Can. Because God what? Because He speaks, acts, reveals, empowers, loves – because He is with me in this moment and always, I can.

What can I be or do because of who God is and what He does? This devotional focuses on twelve foundational practices we are called and enabled to live as we walk with God. Each month a different practice is emphasized that I can live today Because God . . . Each day of the month another truth about God is highlighted regarding that theme, which leads to increasingly understand how I Can be living this practice today.

The twelve monthly themes in this yearlong devotional are Because God . . . I Can Believe, Trust, Receive, Pray, Praise, Love, Listen, Rest, Testify, Serve, Give, and Hope. Come, grow in these life practices as you follow the Lord and make it your habit to come apart for daily quiet time with Jesus.

A daily schedule for reading the Bible through in a year is also included.
