Our mission is to inspire the world with the life-changing message of the Bible.

Printed in China.

H appy New Year! And welcome to the 2022 edition of Daily Wisdom for Men!

The key word for this years Daily Wisdom for Men is unshakable. One of the Bibles important themes is the unshakable nature of God. He is steadfast, unwavering, and immovable in all His waysin other words, a God on whom you can fully depend!

In Ephesians 5:1 ( NIV ), the apostle Paul encourages his readers to follow Gods example. That means a lot of things, one of which is that we Christian men are to live our lives of faith unshakably. Even though the world around us is being shaken in many ways, seemingly every day, God wants us to remain unshaken and unshakable.

The inspiration for this years daily devotionals is taken from each days scripture readings in our popular Read Thru the Bible in a Year Plan, which you can find at the end of this book. The plan will help you read the daily Bible passages and then spend a few minutes reading that days devotional writing.

God wants to grow you into a man of unshakable faith, unshakable love, and unshakable obedience. It is the hope of the men who wrote this years Daily Wisdom for Men devotion, as well as the people at Barbour Publishing, that God will use your daily Bible reading, as well as the writings in this book, to help make you the unshakable man the Lord wants you to be.

The Editors

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the L ORD , and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water.

P SALM 1 : 3 NIV

W hat if you were to begin this new year with this simple question: What do I delight in? According to Psalm 1, your delight plays a major part in determining your destiny for this coming year.

If you keep company with those who mock what is good, who indulge their every craving, or who live their lives in opposition to Gods goodness, then you will find yourself far from God and from Gods blessing. Such company is unstable and blows along with the latest winds of desire. There is no root or depth, as life is consumed with the moment, leaving tomorrow hanging in the uncertainty of the wind.

Conversely, if you delight in the teachings of the Lord and keep them on your mind, you have firm roots that offer stability and the blessing of God. Youll find a secure place to face the highs and lows of life as they unfold in the coming year.

Lord, help me to see the wisdom of delighting in Your Word at the beginning and end of each day.

A Read through the Bible in a Year plan that follows each devotion can be found at the back of this book.

SUNDAY, JANUARY 2

When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the L ORD God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the L ORD God among the trees. Then the L ORD God called to the man, Where are you?

G ENESIS 3:89 NLT
