My Morning Devotional

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we finish off our Advent 2020 prayers. Today we are reading out of Isaiah 9:6-7 which says "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

"A son was given to us, and our lives were forever changed. He was resurrected and death has no grip over us. I hope that you truly understand the reason for the season. I hope our prayers over the last 20 days has brought you closer to Jesus.

Next year will bring new blessings and new challenges but one thing is for sure, a life with Jesus is the best kind of life. One full of love and hope. One full of mercy and grace.

We get to celebrate that today."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we continue our Advent 2020 prayers. Today we are reading out of 2 Corinthians 9:7 which says "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

"The take away here is very simple, our giving and our gifts should be given freely. If you feel that you have to do anything, it’s not coming from the heart. I pray that we reach to change a persons life with our love. Remember that some of us love differently. But they can all be incorporated in this season. If you know your mom values quality time, spend the day with her cooking a nice meal. If your sister likes acts or service, offer to help her put together the bike she just got for Christmas.

There are so many ways we can love the people around us, as Jesus loves us everyday. Ultimately when we do that, we end up serving others, and when we server others, we serve Him."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we continue our Advent 2020 prayers. Today we are reading out of Galatians 4:4-5 which says "4 But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship."

"I love the opening line to this verse. But then the set time had fully come.

The set time.

Meaning God had already set that year, that day apart. He set it aside for Jesus. Then He came and he redeemed us.

God works no different with us. He has set a special time aside for you. I am the kind of person who is always saying the words I can’t wait for…

This serves as a reminder for me, God already has that date set aside for me. But my job now is to honor the season He has me in."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we continue our Advent 2020 prayers. Today we are reading out of Matthew 2:2 which says "“Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

"I labeled this devotional, Look For The Brightest Star and I know we just established those of us in big cities can’t really look for bright stars, but that’s not what I really meant.

In this verse it says “We saw a star when it rose and have come to worship him”. Lets’ lean onto that. Instead of literal stars, look for the brightest situations even in the darkest of times. Stars light up the night, and Jesus lights up your life. Look for his fingerprints of love and grace. Look for those he sends to you. He uses others to communicate with us. He is very much involved in your everyday life. So we can look to the glimmers of hope in our life, and worship Him. Just as they did 2,000 years ago.

If you’re walking around and life is tough, and you can’t see the shimmer glimpse of hope, maybe you are living in a figurative busy city, full of distractions, noise, and too much light. The only way to see the stars when you live in a city is to drive away from town, get to a place where it’s dark and then they will appear.

Maybe, you need to drive away from your distractions. Get away from the noise. Get alone and look for Him. I promise He will reveal himself to you."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we continue our Advent 2020 prayers. Today we are reading out of Luke 2:6-7 which says "While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them."

"Today’s devotional brings me right back to Christmas. It reminds me of the lengths Mary and Joseph went to ensure the safety of the child. If you don’t know the story, I would go into Luke and read the full thing. It’s beautiful and it reminds us to humbly praise him. Jesus could have split the heavens down and come in the form of a man. He could have been full grown. Saved us from the grip of hell and ascended right back up into heaven, but he didn’t. He came in the form of a baby. Who sat in a manger, crying and sleeping, and eating. Like all new borns do.

He grew up. He spent time walking the earth as a human. He could have started his ministry at 18 but he waited until he was 30. He died at 33. Why? Why did he live a full life before he got to saving the world? The answer is simple, his life is an image of ours. We have to learn how to crawl before we can walk. We have to walk before we can run. God understands that there is a season for everything. We can’t just walk into the glory of your career, you need to first go to school and learn the alphabet, then you need to go to college, or continuing education so that you can learn more about your job.

Let his story remind you, that you are still learning. Still growing. Still prepping for the seasons ahead of you."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we continue to pray through our Advent 2020 prayers. Today we are reading out of Ephesians 4:3-6 which says "3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all." 

"This verses says we called to one God who is over all and through all and in all. He is everywhere. He knows everything. We sometimes get so worried with the things we cannot control. This is my number one problem. Our worries come from lack of control. But if we just switched the focus to taking care of what we can control, we would be much happier.

What if instead of worrying about the What Ifs in life, we started worrying about how we react to situations, what we put in our bodies, how we speak to others, what we do with our time, how we spread our faith. That is everything I can control. You will have more peace, in your every day life which in return will grant you more joy.

So take this and hold onto it this weekend. Remember as emotions fly and things begin to happen, can you control the outcome? No then bring it to peace and give it to Him. He is already over it, through it and in it."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we continue our Advent 2020 prayers. Today we are reading out of Exodus 15:2 which says "The Lord is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him."

"This verse is beautiful, feels like a poem or a song you’d write for the love of our life and oddly it’s exactly what it is. It comes from the song of Moses and Miriam at the beginning of exodus.

We’ve been praying and preparing for Christmas through our Advent 2020 series of prayers. We’ve been talking about Jesus and why he came who he was but today we want to look at how we’ve been praising his name long before he came, the same way we’ve been praising His name for thousands of years after his departure from earth.

He is the most talked about man in history. Why? Well because he is the one man who will seek you more than anyone on this planet. He looks for you when you’re lonely. He will never leave you behind and we get to celebrate in that.

Another version of this verse says The Lord is my Strength and my Shield”

I like that it’s the too opposites. He promises to give us strength when we need it. But He also promises to be our shield and in this verse our song. Almost as an indication that he gives you the force to keep going but he also gives you the rhythm to slow down.

What does a shield do? It protects you from the incoming attack. It allows you to catch your breath before you can keep fighting. Remind yourself that it’s okay to take shelter when you need a moment to breathe.

My prayer for us today is that we ask for strength if we need it today, or we ask for shelter if we need that. Whether you’re on track and tackling goals or if you’re at a place where you need a break. He is with us."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we continue with our Advent 2020 prayers. Today we are reading out of John 6:35 which says "Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."

"This verse immediately got me thinking about all the bread I love. If you didn’t know, I love to bake and baking bread has quickly grown to be one of my favorite things to make. It’s always been my  favorite thing to eat. I mean who doesn’t love the rolls from red lobster? Or the ones from Texas Road House? I am cuban, so a Cuban Tostada on the weekend is heaven sent.

Beyond that, bread and water is what sustain us as humans. We physically need to eat and drink in order for us to live. When Jesus makes this declaration he is saying, you cannot live without me. Whoever comes to him will never go hungry, and whoever believes in him will never go thirsty. He is saying that he will fill every need.

When we eat bread and drink water, our body uses the substance and turns it into energy. It then discards it, and it’s time to eat again. Similar to that process, I think it’s vital we remind ourselves everyday that we have Jesus on our side. When we do that, we remind our souls and our spirits that we are not lacking anything. We aren’t hungry nor are we thirsty because he fills our every need.

My prayer for us today is that we realize how extremely blessed we are to do life with a man who fills our every need. We can talk with him freely. We can go to him when we need strength, when we need shelter, and when we just want to celebrate."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we continue our Advent 2020 prayers. Today we are reading out of John 16:33 which says "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

"I love to say the words, God didn’t promise us it would be easy but he did say it would be worth it. These words drop from time to time on the show. It’s something I hold onto, frequently!! 

I read something yesterday that said “everyone you meet is going through something they aren’t talking about”. Those words really spoke to me, because it’s so true. Everyone you meet is authoring a story you would never know the context to. You and I we each have our things. We wake up, put a smile on our face, and we go on about our day. Sometimes we have great days, and other times, it can become daunting and exhausting. Regardless of what the day presents, I pray we always remember to rest easy. He promises us that he has overcome the world. He is asking us to have peace.

All of the little things we battle, God has already taken care of it. So I pray we take a second to look around and breathe. I know, it’s the busiest and craziest time of the year. We all get knocked off our diets and routines, but there is no better time than to bask in the peace Jesus brings, than on the weeks leading to his birth. So have faith, have faith In a better today as you prepare for the day ahead. Have faith that there is a better tomorrow. Have faith that the battle is already won. You will have trouble in this life, but take heart he has overcome the world!"

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we continue our Advent 2020 series of prayers.  Today we are reading out of John 1:5 which says "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."

"This verse solidifies why he came. God said it wasn’t going to be easy. He said that there will be dark times, but that our faith will be stronger. This verse says the light shines in the darkness. And the darkness has not overcome it. Jesus wins.

So as you go about your day today, you might be struggling in a season. Maybe you just graduated, but you failed a class that will hold you back from getting your degree. Maybe you are going through some tough times with your health or the health of a family member. Maybe your dad is in the hospital fighting COVID-19. Maybe you are searching for a community of people to live life with. There can be so many different possibilities.

At then end of the day, whatever you are walking through, God has you, the light shines in the darkness.

2 Timothy 1:6-7 says “For the spirit God gave us does not makes us timid, but gives us power, love, and self-discipline.”

Take that verse and hold onto it. Declare it over your situation. He gave us power. Power to walk into a room and declare the light to shine in the darkness. He gave us love and self-discipline. So take this verse and apply it to your morning. If you need to get back on track with proper eating habits, remember that he gave us self-discipline. If you need to declare healing over your body, remember that he gave you power.

Jesus came 2,000 years ago and changed the world forever."
