Do you ever wonder if there is anything greater than the situation your going through? There is!!

Hi everyone, welcome to Williams devotional podcast. My name is William Rogers. This is a weekly podcast with Bible scriptures and devotionals to bless your day. I hope these messages will help to lift you up and be inspired. God's grace is for all of us, regardless of our situation, and God loves you unconditionally. Trust in God as you are not alone.

Hey everyone, thank you so much for a click and play this week. I hope everybody is doing well. This week's message is titled, “God is greater”, from 1 Corinthians chapter 1 verse 25. “The foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.”

It seems strange to read about God's foolishness and weakness, but what Paul is trying to help us understand is that in all things and in every way, God is greater. We live in a do-it-yourself world where many of us want to figure things out on our own. We think that if we ask for help, we're admitting that we are weak. This verse reminds us that even at our greatest and strongest, we still don't compare to God.

Isn't it encouraging to know that God is not only wise and strong, but that He is also on our side? We can confidently come to Him, knowing that He is more than sufficient to help us in every situation we will ever find ourselves in. And likewise, when others come to us for help, we can do our best to guide them by pointing them to God. God is greater than any situation you're going through. God is greater than that addiction, than insecurities. God is greater than anything you've ever faced or will face. You can get through any battle that you're dealing with and facing by going to God. God wants you to come to Him. God wants all His children to come to Him and call on Him. He has such great love for all of us, and all He wants us to do is seek Him, and He will provide for all of us.

So let me pray for us. God, help me to rest in your strength and your wisdom. Help me to trust you to help me and not try to accomplish everything on my own strength. Thank you for the wisdom and strength you gladly share with your children, as we are your children. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Do you find yourself wondering if there is strength when your going through a weakness?

Hi everyone, welcome to Williams devotional podcast. My name is William Rogers. This is a weekly podcast with Bible scriptures and devotionals to bless your day. I hope these messages will help to lift you up and be inspired. God's grace is for all of us, regardless of our situation, and God loves you unconditionally. Trust in God as you are not alone.

Do you ever find yourself wondering when you're going through a weak time, trying to figure out where there's strength in that, trying to determine how to get through that time that you're in? Well, this week's message is titled Strength and Weakness from 2 Corinthians chapter 12 verse 9. He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

We aren't all that willing to admit our weaknesses, are we? I know I'm not, and I'm sure you're not either. We don't like to confess that we get lost while driving, much less that we are struggling. We are men and women, and people are counting on us. We can do this on our own. We have to, right? Wrong.

It's time we rid ourselves of that mentality and embrace the fact that we aren't the superhero we sometimes believe we need to be. It's time we realize that we lead best when we allow God's grace and power to be evident in our lives. We are strongest when we lead and live with the dependence on God's work in our lives. As he has said, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Let's make room for God's power by admitting that we can't do it all on our own. Remember, you don't have to do it all on your own. God's power is so great, and his love for you is so strong. He's right there with you by your side, getting through it. So even in your weakest moments and you're struggling, there is strength there by God. He will give you the strength. Of course, we don't like to share with others that we're going through weak times because it feels like to us, we don't want people to have an interpretation that we're weak or we're not strong. But in reality, everybody goes through weaknesses. Everybody goes through struggles, but God gives you the strength to get through it. Focus on him and remember that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.

So let me pray for us. God, forgive me for wanting to do the things my way and on my own. Forgive me for not seeking help when I need it from others or from you. Help me to admit my weaknesses to you today. I invite you to come and work in my life. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Do you wonder if you have the approval of God? Do you struggle with the thought of others approving of you?

Do you ever feel like you're trying to seek the approval of your friends or family or even your co-workers? But do you ever wonder if you've got the approval from God? This week's message is titled Approval from Galatians chapter 1 verse 10. “Am I now trying to win the approval of the human beings or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.”

One thing we need to remember is we can't please people all of the time, but we sure do like to try. Whether it be our friends, our family, boss, or neighbors, we want the people in our lives to give us their seal of approval. And with that, we worry. Are we saying the right things? Are we wearing the right clothes? Are we doing the right things? If they knew what I really thought, would they still accept me? It's understandable that we want people to approve of us, but as servants of Christ, we must take a different path. We will only experience true peace when it is God's approval that we pursue. And the things that God approves of often runs contrary to the ways of this world. So be prepared for conflict. But just as we place God's opinion above the opinions of those around us, he will continue to draw us in until we hear him utter the words, “well done, good, and faithful servant.” That's from Matthew chapter 25 verse 21. You do have God's approval. No matter what you've been through, no matter what you're going through, you have his approval. And his approval is the only thing that matters. Of course, it feels good when our friends and family give us their approval of us. But ultimately, as servants of God, his approval is the most important one.

So let me pray for us. God, help me to seek your approval above man's. Help me to understand that your approval is the only one that matters in my life. No matter what I'm facing, no matter what conflicts I'm going through, or no matter what negative thoughts there may be, your approval is the only thing that matters. And I know that you approve of me and you love me so much. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

We all have a purpose in this life, do you know what yours is?

Hi everyone, welcome to Williams devotional podcast. My name is William Rogers. This is a weekly podcast with Bible scriptures and devotionals to bless your day. I hope these messages will help to lift you up and be inspired. God's grace is for all of us, regardless of our situation, and God loves you unconditionally. Trust in God as you are not alone.

Hey everyone, thank you so much for tuning in. Exciting news, this episode is my 100th episode. Thank you all so much. I really appreciate it. I hope you guys enjoy these messages and I look forward to doing many more. Thank you.

Do you ever wonder what your purpose is while you're here on earth? What has God meant for you to do? Well, this week's message is titled “Purpose.” From Ephesians chapter 2 verse 10, “We are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”

Our lives are not made up of random events pieced together by the hands of time. We were created with intention and purpose by the hands of God. The Greek word poema, which is translated “masterpiece”, describes a work that only God can do. As an artist creating with intention, God has crafted us. He has made us a beautiful depiction of the work he is doing in the world.

No two people are alike. Each one of us is uniquely gifted to do the good works God has prepared for us to do. Crafting our history, weaving in our giftedness, and fastening our future, God continues to mold us for his purpose. He wants us to use us to bring life to those around us and to encourage those under our care. When we embrace our uniqueness and live with purpose, we can confidently step into God's calling for our lives.

God created you for a purpose that he has, but what our purpose is, we may not know, but God knows, and he'll guide you. You may have a gift and talent that nobody else has, but you know how to use those gifts, those talents. The uniqueness of you is what makes you such a masterpiece of God. So don't ever think you're not good enough. Don't ever think that you're not talented enough. You are very talented in what you do, and God made you that way for a reason.

So let me finish up with a prayer for today. God, open up my eyes to see what makes me unique. Help me discover my unique role in your kingdom as I seek the good works you want me to step into. Continue molding me to make me more like you. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

Do you ever wonder if Jesus is with you while your going through the storms of life?

Hi everyone, welcome to Williams devotional podcast. My name is William Rogers. This is a weekly podcast with Bible scriptures and devotionals to bless your day. I hope these messages will help to lift you up and be inspired. God's grace is for all of us, regardless of our situation, and God loves you unconditionally, trusting God as you are not alone.

Do you wonder if Jesus is with you when you're going through your ups and downs in life?

This week's message is titled Presence in Storms from Mark chapter 4 verse 35 through 37. That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, Let us go over to the other side. Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat so that it was nearly swamped.

In life, we can hope for bright days full of sunshine, but dreary nights and stormy skies are part of the journey. The twists and turns we experience can leave us feeling swamped with struggle, but we find our hope in God's presence during the storms of life. Jesus took his disciples on an evening journey on the lake. There were other boats on the same waters, but with the winds picked up, Christ was in the boat with his disciples. When the waters rose, Christ was there, and when the waves began to sink the vessel, Christ was there.

Living a life with Christ means having Jesus with us in the storm. When the sickness comes, He is in our boat. When loss overwhelms us, He is with us. When confusion capsizes us, He is our comforter. During the storm, it is better to be in a boat with Jesus than out on the waters without Him. It's so great to know that no matter what ups or downs, struggles, or even celebration, Jesus is always with us. He never leaves our side. Sometimes you may wonder why are you going through this particular storm if Jesus is with you. Jesus knows what you're going up against. He knows what you're facing, but he's looking to see if you will come to him and rely on him to get you through that storm. Even if you're going through difficult time or times of grace and celebration, Jesus is always with you.

So let me say a prayer for us. God, may I find my comfort in you and experience peace through your presence. When the storms of life overwhelm me, be the hope that carries me to the other side. I give you all the glory and the praise, Lord. In your precious name we pray. Amen.

Do you take time to focus on Jesus when your busy in your day? We are all busy, but everyone needs to take a few moments with Jesus, as He knows what your doing and where you want to go.

Hi everyone, welcome to Williams devotional podcast. My name is William Rogers. This is a weekly podcast with Bible scriptures and devotionals to bless your day. I hope these messages will help to lift you up and be inspired. God's grace is for all of us, regardless of our situation and God loves you unconditionally. Trust in God as you are not alone.

Hey everybody, thank you so much for clicking play this week. I really appreciate it. Do you take time to focus on Jesus?

This week's message is titled Focus on Jesus from Hebrews chapter 12 verse 2. We look away from the natural realm and we fasten our gaze on to Jesus who birth faith within us and who leads us forward into faith. His example is this. Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God.

Keeping our eyes on Jesus sounds a whole lot easier than it really is. Our jobs, families, friends, and even our hobbies are all fighting for our attention. It feels like there's never enough time in the day. There's no shortage of books and blogs that tell us what to believe and how to live. Life often feels more like a car ride through a heavy rainstorm. The road becomes uncertain when we can't see more than a few feet ahead of us. We want to keep moving forward, but we can't see the familiar markers that tell us we're headed in the right direction. The only way it gets easier is if we're following the guiding taillights of someone ahead of us.

Jesus Christ has gone before us to make a way for us. If we can focus our eyes on him, he will lead us through the distracting storms of life and help bring clarity to our path. We fix our eyes on him when we spend time in his word and prayer. Are your eyes fixed on him or are you more focused on the worries you can't see? So if you're not fixed and focused on Jesus, take time and allow him in. He has a path already led for you. He knows where you're going and he knows where you want to be.

So let me just say a little prayer for all of us. God, you've made a way for me through your son, Jesus Christ. Help me to not be distracted by other voices calling for my attention, but to fix my eyes on you, the author and perfecter of my faith. I give you all the glory and the praise in Jesus' name. Amen.

Thank you for watching. I hope you enjoyed this week's message. God bless you.

Do you think everyone is against you? Do you feel like there is no one to support you or back you up? The good news is, God is for You no matter what you've done!

Hi everyone, welcome to Williams devotional podcast. My name is William Rogers. This is a weekly podcast with Bible scriptures and devotionals to bless your day. I hope these messages will help to lift you up and be inspired. God's grace is for all of us regardless of our situation and God loves you unconditionally. Trust in God as you are not alone.

Hey everyone, hope everyone is doing well. Do you find yourself sometimes wondering if there's anybody for you? Does it feel like a lot of times a lot of people are against you? Even through the difficult situations you may be going through, you sometimes often wonder, is there really someone that backs me up?  Well this week's message is titled God is for you from Luke chapter 2 verse 10. But the angel reassured them, don't be afraid.  He said, I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people.

Knowing God is for you will change your whole perspective on life.  You'll stop thinking of God as someone looking down from heaven ready to yell, “gotcha” anytime you mess up.  God is for your success in life. He created you for a purpose and he wants you to succeed. It is God, your creator, who will measure your success in life and no one else.

This is extremely good news. It means you don't need to be afraid of God because God is for you. Yet some people are so afraid of God they get nervous just talking about him. Do you know why? They feel guilty and then they start thinking, if I get close to God, he's going to lecture me. He's going to remind me of all the things I've done wrong and then I'll feel even worse.  Well honestly nothing could be further from the truth. Jesus said, I did not come into this world to condemn it but to save it.  Jesus was saying, I didn't come to scold you, I came to save you. And if God is for us, who can be against us? Jesus came to save us, not to scare us.  That's why when the angel was telling the shepherds about the birth of Jesus, the first thing he said is, don't be afraid.  In fact, when God sends a message to people in the Bible, it's not unusual for the first words to be, don't be afraid.

There are 365 messages from God in the Bible that begin with the phrase like fear not. In other words, every single day of the year you can read a message from God that says, in effect, you don't need to be afraid. I am for you. I am with you. I love you.  God is for you. What a great thing to know that no matter what our troubles, what our situation, God is for us unconditionally. There right by our side, helping us, not lecturing us, not looking down on us, but actually loves us. That's so awesome.

So God, I thank you, Lord, that you're so much for us, that you watch over and protect us, and that even if someone thinks that they feel guilty for any of the wrong that they've been doing, that you love us so much, that you will look past that and overcome it, knowing that we are a child of God.  Father, I just thank you so much for all the love that you give us and through all the good and the bad that you are there for us. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

Do you try to do your daily life on your own, or do you go through life with Christ by your side? Keeping Christ by your side will get you through anything you face!

Hi everyone, welcome to Williams devotional podcast. My name is William Rogers. This is a weekly podcast with Bible scriptures and devotionals to bless your day. I hope these messages will help to lift you up and be inspired. God's grace is for all of us regardless of our situation and God loves you unconditionally, trusting God as you are not alone.

When you go through your day to day life and everything that you're doing, do you do it on your own or are you doing it with Christ with you?

This week's message is titled Life with Christ, from Matthew chapter 11 verse 29. Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways and you'll discover that I'm gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me.

The busyness of life often brings us to our knees. We work hard, we play hard, crash hard, and then we pray hard. When we run out of gas, we run to our source. Everybody does.  We pray for rest and hope to be refueled so we can get back out there.  Jesus meets us in our exhaustion, in our brokenness, in our struggles. He is there with us through the good and the bad, but he also calls us to a new way of working and reveals a new road to resting.

A yoke is a wooden frame that holds two oxen together so they can work side by side. As the stronger ox moves, the weaker ox is pulled along. When both oxen are strong, the workload is lighter for both.  This is the picture of work that Jesus paints for us. Life alone is exhausting. We do it every day, but when we are yoked with Jesus, he is not a pit stop. He is a presence. When we are working by his side, we can rest while we labor, knowing his strength is sufficient for us.  Life with Christ by our side takes us farther and faster. When we are yoked with Christ, his humbleness rubs off on us, and the rest of our souls is always one step away.

Being yoked with Christ will get you through your day, will get you through all your struggles. He is right there with us. I thank God every day that He is with me through all the struggles that come with our day to day lives that we do.  The demands with the family, with some friends, coworkers, whatever it may be. Having Christ with you and knowing He is there, it surely helps make things a whole lot easier.

So just a prayer for us. God, teach me to walk in your ways. May I experience rest as you draw me into your presence. Give us the rest that we desire, for we know that you have everything in store for us and already planned out. So even through our busy days and our busy lives, Lord, we call to you to be with us and be beside us, helping us get through those struggles. In your precious name we pray. Amen.
