Isaiah 63:11

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, grief is "deep and poignant distress caused by or as if by bereavement." In this devotional for men, we will discuss navigating grief, which can be emotionally challenging for men. We will explore what the Bible has to say on the topic, and what practical steps we might take to press through. Written by Jacques van Dyk.

In this 18th installment of Reading with the People of God, we follow a lectionary rhythm of Old Testament, New Testament, and Psalms. This plan journeys through Isaiah 40–66, where God speaks comfort, reveals His Servant, and promises new creation. Alongside Isaiah, we read Titus, Philemon, Hebrews, James, and 1and 2 Peter—letters that call us to endurance, holiness, and hope in Christ. Together these readings point us to the living hope we have through the gospel. May the Spirit strengthen our faith and anchor us in God’s everlasting promises.
