There is no better way to prepare for each day than by spending time with God first. This daily practice of digesting and applying biblical messages in practical ways helps to develop our relationship with God, deepen our faith and understanding of Him, and transform our lives to be more like Jesus. "Katherine Merkle and her husband, Ken, have been my friends for over twenty years, and I have seen what God has done in and through her. She leads a remarkable spiritual life. It has been about nine years since God began this work in her life, and she has devoted her life to reaching hundreds of souls online every day with these powerful daily devotion teachings which have both encouraged my life and changed my faith into being more practical in doing the Word of God and not only hearing, as Jesus said in Matthew 7:24-25. I recommend this book of Daily Devotions to everyone who will carefully read and act upon the Scripture and words of encouragement Katherine Merkle has put together by the help of the Holy Spirit. I know her, and she teaches what she lives. The Bible is her lifestyle. Read these pages again and again until the truth of each daily devotion soaks through to your innermost consciousness and your spirit being. Let these words of daily devotion become part of your life, and you will never remain the same. I send my blessings to my friend, sister in Christ Katherine Merkle and whoever allows this book to land unto their hand and heart."
