Daily Devotional- Having The Right Frame of Mind

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” – 2 Timothy 1:7

Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Boy: Look at verses 21-24 in Mark 9

Having the right frame mind is important when approaching anything in life. You have probably heard the phrases “thoughts become things” or “you reap what you sow.” What you focus on in your mind will usual direct your actions. The most important thing is to always focus on God’s Word and to allow Him to put your mind back on good things when you start to worry. 


Daily Devotional- Should We Fake It ‘Til You Make It

“What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy—full of greed and self-indulgence!” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23:25‬ ‭

“Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2:15‬

There is this phrase you hear today called “Fake it ‘Til You Make it?” Should we follow this advice for should we keep it real with people? In today’s devotional I breakdown why you should keep it real and stay authentic to your true self.


Daily Devotional- The Root

“Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock.” – Isaiah 26:4

At the root of worry, we find fear. In an effort to overcome that fear, we try to be brave, thinking that if we are brave, we can defeat it. Bravery doesn’t replace or take away the fear in our lives; it just masks and gives us enough strength to act. However, that bravery will only last so long and we need to something that will last longer: security and trust in The Lord. So take the time to build your relationship with him and ask Him to show you how to worry less. You will definitely find more peace knowing Jesus more intimately and knowing He is with you at all times.


Take The Day Off- The Forgotten Commandment

“Remember to observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath day of rest dedicated to the Lord your God. On that day no one in your household may do any work. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, your livestock, and any foreigners living among you. For in six days the Lord made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything in them; but on the seventh day he rested. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭20:8-11‬

Penalty for Breaking the Sabbath: Numbers 15:32-36

This video is line with what we created The Project for: a place where people can find good resources to grow their relationship with God. Over the next several weeks I will be breaking down each chapter from Robert Morris book “Take The Day Off” and give you a brief overview of things I got from it. I encourage you to check out the website for more content like this and if Holy Spirit directs you to, buy the book.


Daily Devotional- It’s Okay… to NOT Be Perfect

This started with a request for devotionals around the idea of it being okay to fail. As I prayed through this, it seemed that Holy Spirit was telling me that the request was actually much deeper. Therefore, this will be a multi-part devotional.

Have you ever become discouraged by what seemed to be a growing mound of mistakes? Did you feel slaughtered from an attack of accusations of being a failure in everything you do? And if you think about Jesus being perfect and having it easy, you really begin to feel the weight of your failures.

But are they really failures?

Join me as we begin a journey; a journey that “It’s Okay”.

What is Holy Spirit saying to you?

Reference Mark 6:1-3, Isaiah 53:2 and Hebrews 4:14-16

Daily Devotional- Complete Something

“Lazy people don’t even cook the game they catch, but the diligent make use of everything they find.” – Proverbs‬ ‭12:27‬ ‭

Do you have a track record of completing what you start? Why is it important to finish what you start? Let’s take a step backwards and reflect. Who would knowingly drive over an unfinished bridge or pay for a half-baked cake? Not me!

Completion is a critical measure of performance and expectation.That’s why it’s so important to identify those actions most aligned with your God-led goals and invest your time in completing them. I think the biggest thing that trips people up from completing their goals is procrastination and perfectionism. Learn to overcome these and finish what you start!

Daily Devotional- Endurance

“Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles of any kind come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow. So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing.” – James 1:2-4

“We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.” – Romans 5:3

Going through trials and tribulations is never easy. We want to throw in the towel and give up on the provisions God has for us. However, He wants to use those season to help build our endurance and faith in Him. So take great joy in building your endurance and allow that to become your testimony for God’s goodness.


Daily Devotional- Provision Beyond What We See

“Yahweh is my best friend and my shepherd. I always have more than enough.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23:1‬ ‭TPT‬‬

So many times we take a look at what’s in our hands and see only what’s in our hands. However, Jesus sees provision that’s more than we actually need.

Check out how Jesus addressed this with the disciples as we review a few stories in the book of Mark (Mark 6 and Mark 8). What’s in YOUR hand that seems small but Jesus can bless? What is Holy Spirit saying to you?

Thank you for joining us each day as we share lessons that Holy Spirit is bringing or has brought to us. And be sure to check out tomorrow’s devotional.


Daily Devotional- Changing Your Perspective

““Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” – Matthew‬ ‭6:19-21‬

 “Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.” – Colossians‬ ‭3:1‬ ‭

Today’s Devotional we look at shifting our focus from earthly desires to those of The Kingdom. Here are things we will experience when we make that shift: We will seek heaven’s treasures and not earth’s, We will move according to heaven’s rhythm, and We will align our hearts to doing heaven’s will.

After watching this ask Holy Spirit how you can shift your perspective to that of what is in heaven. Allow Him to work on that in your heart and see what great things will come about because of it.
