Rise Above It

Other people’s opinions of you have nothing to do with you. It is about where they are spiritually, emotionally, and physically. You might find someone who is in physical pain, and they treat you in a way they wouldn’t treat you if they were not in pain. We need to run how to rise above how people treat us and see it as an opportunity to grow in grace.

Today’s devotion reminds us not to expect to be treated fairly in this life. People will wound, mistreat, and demean us. It is upon us to rise above it all and forgive them. Don’t set the records straight; instead, focus on getting better.

What I processed from today’s Jesus Calling daily devotional includes the following:

• When people mistreat us, it mostly has nothing to do with us. It’s all about what they are going through at that moment

• Never expect to be treated fairly in this world because people are never fair

• When people mistreat us, it is always an opportunity for us to grow in grace

• When people hurt or wound us, it is pointless to try to set the record straight

Scripture Mentioned in the Episode:

Isaiah 61:10

No Surprises

Have you ever imagined what life would be if we knew everything before it happened? It would be boring. Life with surprises here and there makes it worth living. We are so preoccupied with plans and decisions that we fail to see the choices we need to make today. Without any conscious awareness, we make them habitual responses. God doesn’t want that from us. He wants to give us an abundant life filled with surprises. All we need to do is to trust Him.

When we walk with God, He gives us whatever we need. If it is direction, He directs us. If we need to make a decision, He guides us. In a nutshell, God wants to walk with Him. It is the high time we learn how to surrender to Him and ask Him to call us back whenever we stray and stop trusting Him.

What I processed from today’s Jesus Calling daily devotional includes the following:

• Life without surprises can be boring

• Whenever we trust in God and fully lean on Him, He aligns things in our favor

• Yesterday is history; tomorrow is not a guarantee. Make the best of today. Live in the present moment

• God shall never leave us nor forsake us. He is always there for us

Scripture Mentioned in the Episode:

Genesis 1:1

Can We Really Help Ourselves?

We are in an era where self-help books have made us believe we can do anything for ourselves. The question is, can we really help ourselves? We all know that God is the source of our strength, and there is nothing much we can do without Him because our spirits are always willing to do things, but what about the flesh? Look at the disciples of Jesus, they were always willing to walk with Jesus wherever they went, but their flesh were too weak to do it.

Equally, we cannot do anything without God. He says to us,” come to me when you are hurting, and I will soothe your pain. Come to me when you are joyful. I will share your joy, multiplying it many times over. I am all you need when you need it. Your deepest desires find fulfilment in me alone.” Wouldn’t you love that?

Are you ready to make your baby steps to depend on God entirely? This episode is for you.

What I processed from today’s Jesus Calling daily devotional includes the following:

• If we want to succeed, we cannot do it alone. We need God

• Even if we are reading self-help books, we need to take them to God for Him to show us how to put balance and perspective

• When we remain in God, we become more productive

• Our flesh is weak, and without God, we cannot achieve anything

Scripture Mentioned in the Episode:

John 15:5

No Matter What decide on what you are grateful for today!

P4 meets BFA as we manifest gratitude with Terri Wheeler during this inaugural episode.

Maybe you are looking around and wondering, what’s there to be grateful for? I know what that feels like, but there is much to be thankful for. You may not be where you’ve always wanted to be, but at least you are not where you used to be. Isn’t that enough reason?

You have a roof over your head, at least you are not sleeping outside. You have a job that you don’t love so much. Many people have no jobs.

We need to learn how to be grateful at all times, even when things look like they are falling apart. For instance, look at parents with a teenage daughter who gets pregnant. What’s there to be grateful for? It is easy to get all upset and complain over and over, while the truth is, on the positive side, they will have a grandchild that they might never have had if the daughter didn’t get pregnant at such an early age.

The Bible tells us that all things work for good. No matter how ugly the situation looks, there is always a silver lining.

No Secrets with God

Let’s be honest for a minute, do you have secrets that you cannot share with anyone because they are too personal, or will people judge you? We all have those, but we no longer have to keep them to ourselves. God is ready to listen. He is all ears for us when things are good or bad.

God already knows our deepest secrets, but all He desires is for us to say them to Him. He wants us to go to Him and pour our hearts to Him and promises never to leave nor forsake us. We need to develop the discipline to talk to Him all the time because He is never too busy for us.

What I processed from today’s Jesus Calling daily devotional includes the following:

• God knows our deepest secrets and wants us to trust Him enough to share them with Him

• God is never too busy to listen to us. We only need to talk to Him

• God will never leave nor forsake us

• We need to develop the discipline to talk to God in all our circumstances

• Jesus sticks closer than a brother

• With God, we have nothing to confess, hide, or disclose. He already knows it.

Scripture Mentioned in this Episode:

Matthew 1:21&23

God Calls Us for Our Weaknesses, Not Our Strengths

God doesn’t call us because of how strong we are. He calls us because of our weaknesses and makes us perfect in His strength. Do you remember Moses? When God called Him, he felt his stammer was a great weakness, but God needed him with his weakness.

The beauty of God is that He gives grace to those who are humble, not proud. We can be so proud and what we think we know how to do and what we think we know. But that’s not why God calls us. He wants to our weaknesses amplify our need for Him as we process this out.

Our prayer should be for God to perfect our weaknesses, teach us how to depend entirely on Him and learn to rest in His peace that surpasses human understanding.

What I processed from today’s Jesus Calling daily devotional includes the following:

• We need to be humble for us to receive grace from God

• We should learn how to rest in God’s grace

• God uses our weaknesses for His glory and for us to be a blessing to other people

• When God’s light shines on you, you are no longer ignorant, you are no longer deceived, and you are no longer in the dark

• The more we are at peace, the more other people around us will be at peace

Scripture Mentioned in the Episode:

Luke 1:79
