My Morning Devotional

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Joshua 1:6 which says "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them."

"What happened? How do people become so vile. We can find this kind of behavior across many nations over generations. The answer can’t be found on social media, but it can be found in our bibles. It warns us of what happens when people walk blindly for so long.

1 John 2:11 says “11 But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.”

The further we as people move away from our creator the harder it’s going to be to reap the fruit of the Spirit as a collective group.

God has called us to tp be a force of unity across all nations. He has called us all his children. My prayer today is that we are bold in our faith. We are loud in our truth. God has given us all a promise land to inherit, but if we continue to reap the fruit of the systemic racism we have in place, we will never get there.

It’s just like the story of Joshua and Moses. Moses freed the Jews from Egypt..."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Romans 12:12 which says "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."

"My prayer last night, today, and everyday is that God heals the brokenness. I know it’s a prayer many have prayed for many many generations. I can only image the Christians during the Roman Empire prayed the same thing, we can look too Paul for that. I know that people all over the world have prayed the same kind of prayer for generation over generation. Different parts of the world, all praying for one thing, peace and healing.

Yet for generations, we are passed down this book, full of love and full of faith. Even in the darkest of times it has context for us to hold onto. Today I choose to hold onto Romans 12:12. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

I don’t have the answers. But He does. I can’t see the full picture, be He did, and died for us anyway. I don’t know what will happen, but he does. So today, I will be joyful in the hope of a better tomorrow. I will be patient as my country bleeds. As we redefine who we are going to be known for. I will be faithful in prayer. I know where my power comes from. I know who has me protected, I know who watches over me. I know who watches over you.

Our instructions for the time being are simple. Love thy neighbor. Serve thy neighbor. Love each other. 1 John 4:8 says whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. So I am going to love today. I am going to love those around me extra tight. I am going to continue to work on what God has called me to do. Those are the only orders given to me that matter."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of 1 Corinthians 10:13 which says "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." 

"The beautiful part of this verse is that He provides a way of escape, and once again the word from yesterday comes up and it says he provides us with a way of escape so that we may be able to endure it.

So it got me thinking. Endurance. What does it mean? Well according to the dictionary, the definition is: the fact or power of enduring an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way. So I looked up, Endure. The definition of that is too suffer, patiently.

It’s only day six on 2021 and man do I want to eat all the chocolate in the world. But I know that I made a commitment to myself. That I would become a person who values her health. So now, I need to endure. The beauty is that God gives me everything I need to do so. He gives it to me, and he gives it to you. What ever you are enduring, God has you protected. He’s given you the tools to get through today. So make the best out of it."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Colossians 1:11 which says " being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience"

"This verse today solidifies a truth that I talk about in the book. The source of our strength is God himself. Our strength gives us endurance and patience. It’s what allows us to become disciplined. It allows us to keep going when we don’t want to. Why? Well because the habits we are trying to form, they start with our identity and our identity is in Christ.

If he is the source of our strength, we know we have a never ending supply of strength. God doesn’t get tired. He doesn’t take a break. He is always there. He isn’t emotional, or moody. He doesn’t feel like supplying us with strength on January 1st and then runs out of strength on January 18th. The best part of this verse is that we are being strength according to him, so that you may have great endurance. Meaning when we get tired, all we have to say is “Hey Jesus, I need more strength to get through this mental block, to get though this relational block, to get through this physical block, to get through this spiritual block. When we realize our strength comes from him, we can walk into a life where our endurance is on his doing, not on our doing. 

This could truly be your year, when you understand that he is the source of our strength meaning we don’t have to do this alone."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen."

"This verse is a reminder that you can do all things. You have to have faith and will power. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for. So if your resolution was to buy a house this year, have the faith that God has set aside a plot of land for you and your family. If your resolution included getting your health back, have the faith that you have been given every tool to succeed. You can do this. You may not physically see the end goal, but you know exactly what you need to do and you’ve been given the strength of God to do them.

Last week we talked about how He gave us a spirit of Self-Discipline. Remind yourself today and everyday that you have the power of the Lord inside you. You can become whoever you want to. You can become the person who wakes up early and prays every single day. You have the power to become the person who runs 10 miles a week. You have the power to become the person who prefers healthy eating over donuts and French fries. You have everything you need to walk with God everyday.

I hope you never lose sight of your faith. I hope today gives you the assurance for the things you hope for. I hope you know that even if you can’t see it, it can become yours."

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we kick off 2021 together in prayer. Today we are reading out of 2 Timothy 1:7-10 which says "7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. 8 So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. 9 He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, 10 but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel."

"Resolutions are always hard. I find that a lot of the times, I start something and half way through January things are right back down to normal. A lot of you will pray everyday for 3 weeks, and you may slowly start to slip away from prayer time, I get it its nothing personal that happened to me, that’s why I started this devotional.

God gives us everything we need to become who we were called to be. But first and foremost we were called to be Holy. We were called to live a life after His heart but He knows that life gets in the way.

I hope this verse gives you the courage that it your days don’t have to “go back to normal” but that the resolutions you’ve written are new your new normal.  You can do this, You can make this your year, with Him by your side."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we close out 2020 together in prayer! Today we are reading out of Luke 10:19 which says "19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you."

"...That doesn’t mean we won’t have hardships, there is a clear distinction between the two, and you can find that context over and over again. There will be troubling days. You will have hard seasons, and maybe this past year was a hard season for you, but don’t you worry, nothing will harm you.

All I know, is that we are ready for all that 2021 will bring. We can talk courageously into this new year, declaring the miracles we want to see in our lives. This is the year I get my health back, this is the year I walk into home ownership, this is the year I become debt free, this is the year! My friend, this is your year. It can be your year.

With all the faith you have, make you list and get alone with God and prepare for the best year in His name. Walk in the authority given to you, and don’t give into temptation. You can trample on those snakes..."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of John 10:9-10 which says "9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

" This verse reminds me that we get to live Happily Ever After in Him. Through him we get to have life, and have it to the full. Meaning we get to have it all. Not all that we want, but we get to have everything he wants for us and what he wants for us, surpasses anything we could ever dream or imagine.

He wants to give us life, love, joy. He extends grace and mercy. He calls us by name. He knows what we need and he knows where we’ve been and yet still, we get to live a life of happily ever after.

There is an enemy and he will try his very best to kill and destroy you joy. It happens when we are driving and someone cuts us off, or drives too slow. It happens when we allow our flesh and emotions to dictate our situations. It happens when we allow negative thoughts to consume us. It happens when we have lack of communication with our loved ones.

He is sneaky, and his promises sound like ever after, but he can only give short term pleasure. We are in it for the long hall. We pray, and we lean on Jesus to remember that only He can give us pasture. He is the only one who can give us the happily ever after we truly deserve. One with Him."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Philippians 4:19-20 which says "19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. 20 To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen"

"Let today’s devotional serve as a beautiful reminder, that your needs will be met. You will always be taken care of, according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. We don’t have to get weighed down by anything because we are ready for the next chapter. Everything we’ve learned, has prepared us for what’s next. 

So don’t let this past year discourage you, it was very very necessary. Instead, get alone, get with God, and pray. Write down everything you experienced. Write down your wins, and your stocks, bring them to Him. Tell Him everything you want to accomplish over the next year and with faith, know that He hears you, He knows what you need, and everything will be given to you. "

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Romans 8:37-39 which says " 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

"These verses are beautiful reminders and should be stables in everyone’s life. We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. The beauty of this passage is that it talks about how much he loves us. Because he loves so so much, because there is NOTHING we can do, or be, or go, that would separate His love for us.

This means that in our day today, we can face different obstacles, and make stupid mistakes but still come back to the one truth. That he loves us no matter what. This doesn’t give you a hall pass to become an awful person, but this serves as a reminder that when we work hard we can conquer all things. That includes all goals, and resolution.

We should all strive to be better in the new year. To learn more from God everyday. With Him and His love we can accomplish great things.

I pray as we go about our day we remember His love, His goodness, and His strength that we can lean on. No matter what you face, new classes at school, weight loss goals, new job on the horizon, career changes, what ever it is, we are conquering through Him."
