Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of Psalm 34:10 and look to scripture to fill us with the validation we all so desire. "The same thing happens to me when I eat a bag of chips. Somehow my body can fit 50 chips yet I am still hungry once I hit the bottom of the bag. Why? Well because although I am eating I lack nutrition. The same thing happens to our spirit when we go looking for validation on social media. We are filled with love but still running on empty. No substance in this world...

Today's devotional is brought to you by Steven Samper. Join us as we read through Isiah 40:31. "So the next time you’re in the middle of that storm, instead of falling to your knees to weep about the battle...fall to your knees and declare that the battle has already been won because God is a good good father and does not forsake His people. The same God that is with us in the mountaintop will surely meet us when we’re in the deepest of valleys. He will place us on wings to lift us up, soar hig...

Join me Alison Elizabeth as we read Romans 5:3-5 and we look to the importance of alone time with Jesus. "In the last few years cellphones have become our lifeline of connection. Check your screen time, and just see how many hours your spend on there. It's how you communicate with your family, friend, and strangers alike. These verses are telling us that God gave us the Holy Spirit. It's his connection to you.Think about it the Holy Spirit is like God's personal cellphone that given freely to ...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we turn to the bible to talk about Legacy. What is a legacy? How do we leave behind a legacy? "The greatest legacy of all time is the story of Jesus Christ. The Holy Bible has been translated in 698 languages. His story has been told for thousands of years. He walked this planet over 2,000 years ago yet every single day someone new encounters him and his story in a new way. There are obviously other legacies, different families that have made good (and even bad) im...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we look to 1 Thessalonians 5:5 Together let's study what being a child of God and a child of light should look like. "We are all children of the light. We have it inside us. It was given to us by the Father, he lives inside us. If we are children of the light, and we do not have darkness is us, why is it so easy to feed our flesh? We all perceive ourselves to be good people. But sometimes it's ego driven, we want to look good, feel good. But "doing good to look go...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. "These few verses are absolutely beautiful. My absolute favorite is Verse 4: a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; Today I am laughing and dancing. I am learning how to celebrate my accomplishments. Something that was so very hard for me to do in the past. Today is a big day for me because I get to celebrate 50 episodes, 50+ hours spent reading and writing what the word of God means to me. 50 times t...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read Psalm 37:4 together. Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. "This is so simple right? Then why do we all claim to love Jesus (me included) yet yearn for more. If we claim to love Jesus we must be taking delight in him, therefore why do our hearts still desire for things we may not have? It just got me thinking. Do we desire the Lord, so that we can take delight in the things we want most? Great health, new home, fun season...

With Stephanie Cepero and Alison Elizabeth, join us as we read Matthew 9:20-22. Stephanie has brought us a devotional that will bless us all. Our testimonies can spark a chain reaction of faith. "We may not all be meant to write a book, or take a mic on a platform, or lead worship, but we were all made to share the good news. And from this story, I gather God loves when we share the testimony of his hand in our lives. I say all of this to say, I once heard it said so well by the incredible Past...

Join me Alison Elizabeth as we look to Psalm 73:26 for guidance on what to do when we fail. "In any season of life, there were... So many times I told myself I was going to journal everyday, and I didn't. So many times I told myself I am going to pray and I didn't. Most of these so many times end in my heart ache. Wishing I was further along, stronger with myself, closer to God, etc. You name it. Our flesh fails us. Our habits fail us. Our systems fail us. But this verse says... But when we ...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we are encouraged to spread the love of Jesus. I hope our testimonies change the hearts of those around us. "I hope we get to tell the whole world just how loved they are. This verse says we are to tell the whole creation. Yeah that means every single person on this planet. They are loved, they are treasured! May we become like a virus. A virus of love. May our testimonies cause a chain reaction in the hearts of the people around us. May our love penetrate every ce...

Join me Alison Elizabeth as we read out of John 15:11 and look to Jesus to fill the joy we all seek. We look to the word of God for answers and a response to all that happens around us. "There are answers to all of our questions. I know the news is overwhelming, I know everyday it's something new. I know this year has been tough and sometimes we cry, sometimes we laugh. But we have a response to every tear, every question, and everything going on around us. We just need to crack open the book a...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we look to scripture and see what God says when we ask for help. Spoiler alert - he promises to heal us. "I have never personally felt the pain of addiction, I have never felt the pain of losing a child, I have never felt the pain of being unable to conceive. There are valley's I have walked that you have never been through yourself either. We all have different pains and different needs for help. But our God is infinite. He is so large and yet also so personal. H...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we discover what the bible has to say about meditation. Together we are going to be reading out of Psalm 119:15 "You shower daily, (maybe some of you shower every other day, or maybe some of you even shower twice a day. It's up to debate in some cultures) but no matter the length in between your showers, you do shower often. We shower to clean our bodies of the filth we've come into contact with since our last shower. Sometimes we don't work out in this time but a s...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we look to Deuteronomy 7:21 for some hope today. We cling onto the goodness of our God. The world may seem like nothing is getting better, but our God is a good good father. "The enemy will use people to do his dirty work for him. But we have to hold on to the goodness of our God. He is fighting our battles with us. Let's declare this verse together: the Lord your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God." Support the show Join The Community: @mymorningdev...

Maybe it's a dream in your career or in your family life. Are you going to back out of it because there are other...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we get ready for the weekend! We are turning to the bible to see what God has to say about rest. We are reading out of Hebrews 4:9-11 today. "Well, I turned to the bible to see what it really said. The message is clear over and over again. Genesis says God rested on the 7th day. This verse in Hebrews is asking us to make every effort to be obedient to resting. That means taking a day to rest with Jesus. It means taking a day and unplugging from Social Media, it mean...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read Matthew 5:5. I pray we learn to humble ourselves and serve one another. "Humble yourself. We throw this word around so often, but do we really understand and practice the meaning? Do you lay yourself down for other people? In today's society it's so easy to look at all that's going on and say "wow we are such a selfish society - no one care about anything until it's about something that actually affects them". So I have come to challenge you today. Are you b...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we dive into Hebrews 6:19 and look to Jesus for Hope in today's climate. "I love that the verse talks about an anchor. Think about what an anchor does. it keeps the boat from floating away with the current. So remember we have an anchor of hope. His name is Jesus. Don't get swept with the current of the news. Don't feed into the fear and the anger. Just continue to go with the motions of the ocean, yet remember you are tied down. Your anchor is Jesus and his word." ...

Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read the story of when Jesus fed 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish. Matthew 14:14-20 "But something really stood out to me when I read this today. In regard to our current situation. It says "Jesus saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, and healed their sick". We are still fighting this virus. In Miami, the numbers are increasing daily. Maybe you are from an area where the numbers have been controlled, but the virus still looms on our ear...
