My Morning Devotional

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."

"Imagine if our conversations all started with that verse. I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.

Imagine if you woke up and said that prayer over those you can’t stand. Imagine if you looked at your government officials, those you voted for and those you didn’t vote for and you said I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.

Doesn’t that make you feel closer to Jesus? Wishing no harm on anyone. Not even those who’ve hurt you. Not even those who you feel are out to get you.

Say this prayer to everyone your come into contact with today (in your head of course). Say it to every co-worker. Every person who cuts you off in traffic.

This is more for you than it is for them."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of James 1:23-24 which says "23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like."

"We all struggle with new habits. I know. I am one of you. We are all human and we have our ways. It’s impossible for me to work out every single day, it’s just not a habit of mine. So why is applying new habits so hard for us?

Well the answer to that is simple, habits are formed from our behaviors, and our behaviors are a result of our identity. If you don’t identify as an early bird, your body will always fight your alarm.

Can the same be said about applying scripture to your daily life?

I want to say yes. I know that when you habitually surround yourself with people who don’t act the way you want to act after reading scripture, it’s almost impossible to change.

It’s almost like living two lives. Which is what this verse is saying. It’s like looking in a mirror and completely forgetting what you look like."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Matthew 26:41 and Matthew 4:1-7

"“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 

"...I love this story. I love the picture this paints. I love Jesus’ clap backs. But something else really stood out to me. The enemy repeated scripture. Take notice of that, the enemy knows the word of God and he flipped the script and tempted Jesus with the very words we repeat and meditate on daily. 

Look out for snakes disguised as doves.

Jesus was hungry and he was tempted with food. And sometimes we are hungry. Hungry for a new job, more income, materialistic things and we feed on what the earth has to offer rather than on the word of God.

My prayer today, is that we take this life day by day. Trying to grow closer to God every single day. Trying to lean into our spirits rather than the flesh. But at the same time, I pray we have grace when the flesh is weak. Get back up, and try again. Today is a new day."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 103:12 which says "as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us"

"But I am here to ask you the same question God asked me, why are you still holding onto your mistakes and sins from the past? It’s preventing you from the gift of today.

We are all living a special kind of lifestyle, you know the kind of lifestyle after Jesus’ heart. It’s a life where nothing can be held over your head. Nothing. Not even that cringy video of you in your college days, nothing holds the power to destroy you.

I am so thankful we can all come to this safe place to remember how good God is every single morning. This year has handed us all a new perspective on life. Not the same perspective, but a new one. God revealed things to me that He didn’t reveal to you and vice versa. It’s because he is the God of relationship."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Romans 8:6 which says "The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace."

" This verse is saying that when we are governed by flesh (the what we see here and now) vs. the spirit we are trapped in a cycle of death. We aren’t literally dying, but a life that can’t produce good fruit isn’t a life I want to live. So how do we fix that? We fix our minds.

The spirit says we are wonderfully made. The spirit says we are protected. The spirit promises to give us strength, blessing, abundance.

We have to start thinking that way. When we think it, we say it. When we say it, we create it. Before you know it, the lessons God was trying to teach you, will be learned much faster than when you were sitting there complaining."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Colossians 4:2 which says "Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful."

"Sometimes we don’t say it enough and I hope today’s devotional encourages you to do so. Make a list of all the things you are thankful for. Maybe it’s health, maybe it’s your home, your family, a new job, or a current job. Find the people and the things you can be thankful for.

2020 has been a year and some of us have had just about enough of it. Between the pandemic and the conversations we’ve been having, it was hard at times to be hopeful for the outcome of this year. But even in loss we can be thankful for the peace Jesus’ presence gives us.

I lost my grandmother this year, but I have a sense of happiness knowing she is dancing in heaven with my other grandparents.

Maybe you’ve had one crazy year and your life is falling apart. I will give you one thing you can hold onto. The breath inside your lungs."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Isaiah 40:8 which says "The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.”

"There are few things that will endure eternity. Rivers dry, mountain crumble, but the love of our God will never fail.

 God endures forever. Meaning he will last through the dark. Not only will he withstand rainy days but he will outlive mountains and rivers. He was there at the very beginning and he will be there at the very end. He knew you before you were born and he is eager to spend eternity with you in heaven."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Matthew 5:44 which says "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you"

"I like to think that God is the most creative being in this Universe. No one can out do God’s worst because we will always fall short. He created the skies and the heavens. He made the plants and the animals, yet humanity was His favorite creation.

All of us are unique. We all have different views. Different interests. Different habits. We like different foods, we love different kinds of movies. Some of us can sing, others of us can play sports. Some of us have the ability to learn and retain several languages. Others of us have a deep sense of empathy and some of us run on logic.

We are all different and that is the beauty of God’s creation.

Your enemy is not the person who is your opposite. What a boring life to be surrounded by 100 people just like you. You would have no one to learn from or grow from."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Job 22:27 which says "You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows."

"When we pray, He hears us. I know most of our prayers are the same. We are human and although we are all different we all struggle with similar problems. We all pray for strength when we need it. We pray for protection when we need it. We pray for the words when we don’t have them. We pray for a miracle when we are desperate. We pray for the impossible because we know with Him it’s possible.

God always knows what we need, remember that prayer is more for us than it is for Him. Prayer gives you the confidence that you are covered in His protection.

So pray today and fulfill your vows. Cut those destructive habits. Surrender your anxiety and cast your worries. He can take it. He made the universe.

When you pray everyday something amazing will happen. Your life will change forever because of it. That doesn’t mean you won’t go through tough times, it only means that no matter what happens you know that God is with you. He has his hand over your life and you are covered in His protection."

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Ephesians 4:31-12 which says "Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."

"As I got older I started to appreciate the sun light more and watching the sun set at 6 is always a little shocking. It's always darkest the first night. After a while we get used to it. Our bodies adjust and we no loner feel so tired when the sun is down. 

That is a picture of bitterness. When someone offends you, and you hold onto that it's always darkest on the first night. After awhile you get used to it. Before you know it your body has adjusted to holding all that resentment and anger inside. 

We have to learn how to let things go. As you go about your day today, take notice of the people and incidents you are holding onto. If there is any poison inside of you, let it go. It's not worth holding onto. The only one getting hurt is you. 

I heard a sermon the other day that talked about not only forgiving the people around us, but that we should be forgiving our selves. Forgive yourself for whatever you did. Forgive yourself for getting to where you are today. Forgive yourself for the mistakes you made years ago. Stop holding onto poison. Our Father has already forgiven us for those things. It's time we let it go so that we can live a life without bounds."
