Desiring God

Solid Joys

A free daily devotional from John Piper — a short reading for each day of the year, each built on a verse and pointed at finding joy in God. Available as a web devotional and a free app, with no account required to read the day’s entry.

Why this is listed

A short, free daily reading that stays on one theme — joy in God — rather than drifting, and needs no sign-up to start. It carries one teacher’s Reformed convictions throughout, listed as a strong single voice for a daily rhythm, with the tradition named so a reader knows the frame.

How to start

  1. Open desiringgod.org (opens an external site) and read what Desiring God says about itself before you read anything else.
  2. Confirm the cost and level fit: free, introductory, over ongoing.
  3. Note the tradition — Reformed. It will shape what you are taught, and that is worth knowing going in.
  4. Put the first session in your calendar now. The gap between reading about study and doing it is a calendar entry.
