Help Bring Someone Home | Daily Devotional 1635

You're listening to My Morning Devotional Podcast, episode 1635. Today's civil is called A Different Perspective.

Hey there, we're the Alessis, a ministry family working together in our church in Miami, Florida. And if you're like us, when days get busy, the to-do lists get longer, it can be hard to find devotional time. That's why every weekday we share a five-minute daily dose of heaven. This is the My Morning Devotional Podcast.

Good morning, everybody, and happy Friday. Welcome back to My Morning Devotional Podcast. It is Friday, so it is my last day with you until next month. My name is Rochelle, and it was truly an honor being with you. And um, this week we went over Philippians 1, the entire chapter. And for this month, we're gonna be going over the entire book of Philippians. So next week, please come back for Philippians 2, and it is gonna be amazing to just study the word together. And we did this last month with the book of James, and now we're doing it with the book of Philippians, and I really am love loving this. So please write on the chat if you're liking how we're going in depth into books of the Bible, because really our passion here is to not just come here and teach the word, but really get you guys to love the word and come back and feel like I want more of this on your own. And because we all have our Bibles and have access to our Bible, we want to make sure that the we're all using it and are passionate about it. And so I am so thankful. And today is gonna be a little bit different, but I'm not gonna necessarily read a verse. But what I want to do is challenge you at some point of today to open up your actual Bible, okay? Whether it's at home or at work, and if you have a little bit of time at work and you don't have your physical Bible, but you have your phone, that's okay. Just open up the word of God and read the entirety of Philippians 1 because it's gonna it's gonna be beautiful to see how that entire chapter comes together. We've read it a piece at a time, but if there's one thing I want you to take from this week as an entirety, is that circumstances don't get the final word, our perspective changes when Jesus becomes our focus and the center of our life. We learn through Paul that his circumstances did not matter to him, he rejoiced in the Lord always, and it changed his life, and it changed the life of the people around him. His love for Christ was his everything. We see the passion and love through his words, and we actually see in all the books of the Bible that he wrote, and how much he truly was so moved by making sure that the Lord's name was being proclaimed, that he made that his job. And so I pray that this week did that for us, that it challenges us to say, is the Lord really the all in our lives? And I pray that you even get to see that the circumstances in your life don't get the final word. Jesus does, if you allow him to, if you let him be the center and the all of your life, you're gonna see how your perspective changes. You truly now start to see and hear differently. Um, I like to say you start to see with your spirit eyes and you start to hear with your spirit ears because you're not seeing things like this. World sees them. Now you're do seeing them from a heavenly place because you're entering every situation with Thanksgiving. And when you do that, it changes your perspective. And when you truly say, Jesus, you're my everything, man, it's such a strong, it's like a strong weapon. You can't be stopped because nothing could be too much for you because you serve Jesus and you know that he's bigger than anything in your life and bigger than anything in this world, and he truly is your source and everything that you do. And so I encourage you, please go back and read this entire chapter, but remember that your circumstances don't get the final word. But when you come to know Jesus and He becomes your everything, you get a new perspective and it makes you unstoppable. So let's pray to close out this week. Dear Father God, thank you for your spirit. Thank you for your word, thank you for revealing all these things for us. I pray for every listener right now that your spirit will be with them and that as they open up their word to read it, that you will speak to them and they get to hear you differently, Father, and they get to feel you in a new level and that they get to see that in you they are victors. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
