Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 1 John 5:7-8 which says "7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree."

"As you go about your day reflect on this. God the father, creator of the universe. Creator of the earth and the heaven. King above all. Jesus, his son, the word turned flesh. He walked with God in the beginning. He sacrificed His life for us. He is 100% man, yet 100% God. He lived a sin-less life and died for us. He is our greatest friend. The Holy Spirit, which is the very breath of God that resides within you. It is the voice on conviction and accountability. he gives you the strength to push forward and the discernment for when to pull back.

We are three part as well. The body, physical body the only thing given to us at birth that will be with us when we depart. It takes care of us, gives us a home while we are on this earth. We don’t give our bodies the credit they deserve. We are also part soul, our very essence the thing that makes us who we are. Our personality and life experiences all wrapped into one beautiful energy. Our third part is the spirit that lives within, and we just covered that. It’s our direct line to the father.

We are all connected. It’s important that we treat them all with the love and respect it deserves. Let’s fill our minds with pure thoughts, let’s fill our bodies with the greatest kinds of foods, let’s nourish our spirits by getting into the word. Let’s confide in our father as we pray everyday. Let us not lean onto our understanding but rather let’s look to Jesus for direction.

My prayer today is the same as it was in June, may we all find the time to honor what He’s given us. May we all find the time to worship, may we find the time to praise. May we find the courage to surrender. May we find the strength to spread love and light in this dim world. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Proverbs 19:21 which says "Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails."

"We may have a million plans to do a many different things, build a home from scratch, start a dream business, write a book, have three kids, etc. But we must never forget that the Lord has a plan for Himself.

The best part of Him having a plan for us, is that not only will his purpose for us prevail time and time again, but it will always be the better option for us. Our takeaway today is to let him take control. Let Him guide you to where He needs you. Rather than being so absorbed in your timeline, or needs, ask Him how he wants to use you. Watch how you’ll instantly become less stressed. Not only that, but you may also start to find genuine value in the work He has you do. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Proverbs 16:16 "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!"

"To be wise is a gift from God himself. Over and over again we can look to scripture to help us find wisdom for any and every situation. I read a quote that says - Easy Is The Path of Wisdom for Those Not Blinded By Ego - and it got me thinking of how many times we put our ego’s before our faith.

 We want to be in control. We want to take charge. We want to have all of the answers, but we would be fools to believe that we can hold all that power and knowledge without the help of Jesus.

 I understand the motive behind Ego. It’s almost like a shield of protection. You rather be in control so that you don’t get hurt, but the reality of the situation is that God is asking to be our protector. He is asking us to do life His way. If we humble ourselves we can reap the beautiful benefits of allowing God to be the one in control.

When we surrender our needs, we gain a deeper appreciation and understanding for the things around us.

Like this verse says, insight is far greater than silver. It sounds counterproductive, we have to relinquish our need for control, our need for information, and in return we gain insight. It’s because we associate information with insight, when that is all wrong. The insight God is promising us isn’t the information we seek, but rather than peace in knowing we’re safe in His kingdom.

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 1 Peter 1:21 which says "Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God."

"It says through him, him being Jesus, you believe in God, who raised Jesus from the dead and glorified him. Because of this, because of this day, our faith and hope are in God.

It’s crazy how the trajectory of an entire world changed off the actions of one person, one afternoon.

Think about it, we live in the year 2021 AD - After Death and I know in the last few years society has changed it to “CE” “Current Era” but it’s still a monumental fact knowing this era’s start was all due to the events on the cross.

So we have to believe that what happened on that cross, and what happened three days later were not only important, but life altering. We get to reap the benefits of a world where Jesus already died for us. We get to live on this side of History. We get to live in a reality where we can come freely to God. We can put of faith and hope in Him because we’ve seen his work done again and again without failing.

I saw a quote somewhere that read:

Belief is not a matter of choice, but of conviction.

We don’t chose to believe in God, because we want to or because someone is making us. We believe in God because we’ve seen His work. Because we know what a world with Jesus being raised from the death looks like. We reap the seeds that he sowed 2,000 years ago. We get to walk in freedom. We know he will never leave nor forsake us. We know we are loved whole and complete. It’s so deep rooted, it’s a conviction.

So has you go about your day today, remember that because of the events on calvary, because God raised Jesus from the dead, because we are no longer slaves to our fears, we can live in hope knowing God is for us and no one could be against us."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Ecclesiastes 3:1 which says "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven"

"I have had this worship song by Cody Carnes on repeat all day! According to Spotify he has 1.4 million monthly listeners and this song along had like 50 plays from me. I encourage you to listen to it right after this devotional.

There is a line that he says, “I’m sorry when I come with my agenda, I’m sorry” and man that just got me thinking of all the times I start my prayer time with Jesus by asking for something, rather than for thanking him for something.

Have you ever done something for someone? Maybe you work in an environment where your work is important to the success of the client or the organization. Maybe you just finished helping someone with a huge project at school, or you just took some heavy lifting off of someone else’s plate.

And then when that person comes to see you instead of thanking you for your service, your work, your help, they said “Hey, can you help me with something else?”

I am sure you would be exhausted, maybe a little heart broken. Maybe you would have felt unseen.

We do this every single day to Jesus.

We come with our problems, we come with our agenda’s, and we don’t take a moment to thank Him for everything He has given us. God isn’t interested in our agenda’s, he just wants us. He wants our unconditional trust and love.

Like this verse says, for everything there is a season, and a time for ever matter under heaven. Your time to own a home, its coming, It’s just not now. So start thanking him for the home you currently live in. Your time to be a parent? It’s coming. Your time to be a ______ fill in the blank, it’s coming, but right here, right now all we need to do is come to Him with thanksgiving."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 119:15 which says "I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways."

"Where is your attention. What are you working on. Are you easily distracted? Are you running on a short fuse, are you fixed on His ways?

It’s easy to get distracted, the average attention span is 7 seconds!! A gold fish has an attention span of 9. We are living in a world where information is being shot at us at all hours of the day. It’s not your fault that you pick up your phone 100 times an hour, you’re probably getting 100 notifications an hour.

However, it doesn’t give us an excuse to stay living with the distractions. Make a change. Turn off the notifications for the Apps you never use. Start there. Do a digital cleanse. If digital distractions aren’t your problem, find what is distracting you and make changes.

Everyday we can work towards becoming better Christians. Everyday we can fix our eyes on Him"

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 2 Timothy 4:7 which says "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." 

"Finishing the race, it means a lot. We just established that this life is not easy. We know there will be heartache, but I pray we still finish the race. It gives us a clear picture on how to do so. It says “I have kept the faith”.

Guys, faith is the one thing that will keep us going. It’s like solar panels that can charge a building. We get charged through the light of Jesus and it fuels us in the dark. How many of you know Solar Panel technology is amazing. The sun doesn’t have to be out in the middle of the night for the panels to fuel a home. In the same way, you can be in a dark season, but your faith that is charged by the light of Jesus can keep your house fueled.

My prayer today is that we understand how truly vital faith is. Faith is hope in things we cannot see. Faith is knowing God is for us, when when we can’t see Him with our physical eyes, Faith allows us to feel His very presence."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Jeremiah 33:6 which says """Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security."

"I read this verse in a few different versions. In the ESV it says :6 Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security. I really liked how one version used peace while the other used the word prosperity. 

I think it’s because we associate peace with prosperity. Only if I had the right job, then I will be at peace, then I will find security. So many of us think this way. If only I had a meal plan, then I would eat right and lose the weight. If only I had time in my schedule, then I would pray more. We have it all wrong. 

Nothing on this earth can bring us the peace. Prosperity, or security than a life with Jesus in the center. We have to remember that. When we look for opportunity we must wait for him to open the doors, we must not force them open ourselves. 

This verse also talks about healing, and a lot of us are on the search for that too. If you are sick in your body, I am going to stand with you in believing that you are healed. God is the father of healing, he is the God of miracles and this verse says I will heal my people. He will heal your bodies, your hearts, your brokenness. 

He is a good good father, and I hope these devotionals allow you to hold onto the truth that life is much better when we start our mornings and surround our days with Him."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of John 3:30 which says "He must become greater; I must become less."

"I don’t have it all figured out, but I do know one thing, God is the leader of my life. I read a quote the other day that says Great leaders inspire greatness in others. When I thought of all the people I have in my life, many leaders came to mind. The fist being my pastor, who is the leader of my church. But then there are other leaders in my life. We have a team of leaders at the agency I work for, my mom and my dad were both the leaders of my home for many years, I had many leaders I looked up to in high-school and in college through my extra circular activities like in my Marching band, and my sorority.

Although all of these people are important and have taught me valuable lessons who have shaped my beliefs and identity, there is only one true great leader in my life and His name is of course , Jesus.

I chose to follow a life after Him as I am sure you do. In order to really allow Him to lead we must learn for his instructions. We can look to the Bible for his teachings, and parables, but the only way we can really allow His teachings to lead us, we must allow Him to be the greater voice in our life.

This verse is so critical in this. He must become greater, I must become less. When we do this, when we allow him to hold the greater voice of influence over our actions, only one thing can happen- greatness will flow through us. Like I mentioned, great leaders inspire greatness in others.

If you want to do great work, ask Him for help. Ask Him for direction. Let Him guide you to where he needs you. Allow Him to lead you."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 3 John 1:2 which says "Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul."

"We look to the word of God to see how Jesus lived. We studied His life, we study His teachings, but we also must take time to study how people lived in the days and years after Jesus acceded to heaven. After all, their lives should be examples to us all as we are human and as were they. Don’t get this mistaken, they were imperfect and it isn’t to make a god out of any of them because our one true example is Jesus, but I do think they lived lives that are relatable in that they too snuggled and chose to be Christian even when the world told them to believe in anything but Christ.

This opening sentence really got me thinking of those I love around me. We live in such a fast paced society, but we must remember to truly slow dow, and speak and listen to those around us.

I pray we are quick to wish them good health, and not to just ask them for favors. In my prayer time today as I was reading this, I was encouraged to write a list of those around me. The circle God has placed in my life. My family, friends, co-workers, and mentors and wish them good health.

It encouraged me to strike up a conversation and listen to their needs.

I know this year was a crazy one and I bet you a lot of them are walking through a season they probably haven’t wanted to open up about. Everyone is going through something and no one deserves to go through it alone.

I hope that you take some time to do the same. Even if it’s just one person. Listen to them, extend them well wishes and follow up with them. Sometimes the best way we can extend the love of Jesus to others is to listen to them and comfort them right where they meet us."
