Devotionals for the Heart: What a long wait at an airport taught me about life


Life Lessons Learned While Waiting at an Airport in Dubai 
A devotional by Kerry Sue Teravskis

“Do everything without complaining and arguing.”
—Philippians 2:14 (NLT)

We had been in a Dubai airport for hours.

It was in the middle of the night local time, but for us, who knew what time it really was for our bodies? We had been traveling for over 24 hours, and we had many hours more to go. Our meals were lackluster, and we had run out of our favorite packed snacks. We had food, but only of those for desperate times variety. We weren’t there. Yet.

Because we were part of a larger team, keeping and maintaining a good attitude was paramount. Not that it really should matter, as we should live our lives to reflect Jesus Christ no matter the circumstance every day. So, we played games, told stories, walked, and waited. And tried very hard not to complain.

Why do we fall so easily to this pastime of complaining? It seems to be one thing we all have in common: We all tend to complain. When the Apostle Paul wrote this verse in Philippians 2:14, he was in jail, chained to a prison guard and had the barest of basic necessities. Yet, he had the audacity to write to the Philippians about not complaining. Didn’t he know what the national pastime was? Didn’t Paul have plenty of things to complain about at that time? Wasn’t he wrongfully jailed?

The Bible says we are to do all things without complaining, even if it is for someone else. Especially so. If we are not complaining, then how are we to spend our time, our thought life, our energy? The Bible says in James 1:2 (NKJV) that we are to count. James wrote in that verse, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials.” What, exactly, are we to count? All things, and with joy!

Everything we do can be considered in this and it can be counted with joy without complaining. How can we do this, realistically? Play the Glad Game, like Pollyanna? Yes, if it helps you get on the right track. Maybe counting to three when the temptation to complain gets too, well, tempting? Or, simply, just stop.

Our Heavenly Father (God) says in Psalm 46:10 (NKJV), “Be still and know that I am God.” This means we are to pause, be still and know. We are to wait and spend our time waiting, learning about the Father, His Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.

It is not being still to do. It is about being still to know and grow closer to our Heavenly Father. When we are in this posture, complaining has no place in our hearts, souls, minds and strengths. It is a change of what we deem important. It is a move to honor God in all we say and do.

In the Dubai airport, we had a choice: wait patiently, or grumble and complain. Neither one advanced the process or made time move faster. But only one honored God and had a faithful witness to His working in our lives.

Are you in a Dubai airport of sorts? Have you been traveling for hours on end, jet lagged, and ready to be done (really done) with whatever it is you are facing? Are you done with complaining and willing to accept, be still, and begin counting joy in all things?

It may not be easy, but we are not in this alone. God is with us.

Let’s Pray:
Father God, I sincerely repent of my complaining heart and attitude. I can see how it does not honor You, nor does it give a faithful witness to those around me who are watching. Forgive me, Lord. Help me to see the joy and count it. Help me to be still and know that You are God because I do want to know You more. In Jesus’s Name I pray. Amen.

Devotionals for the Heart: When God interrupts your life for divine purpose


The Gift of Being Interrupted

A devotional by Dr. Gladys Childs

"A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps."
—Proverbs 16:9 (NKJV)

We strive for order and control in our lives.

We make plans, set goals, and pursue schedules to get the most out of each day. Whether in our careers, relationships, or spiritual walk with God, we like to know what's coming next. But what happens when life doesn't cooperate? When the well-planned day suddenly takes a turn we didn't anticipate?

Interruptions have a way of exposing how much we value control. In an instant, our best-laid plans unravel, and we're left feeling frustrated, inconvenienced, or even out of control. We think interruptions are a waste of time, an obstacle keeping us from achieving our purpose. But what if the interruption is the purpose?

Consider the life of Jesus Christ. His ministry on earth was often marked by unexpected encounters, where interruptions became moments of profound transformation. One day, while teaching a crowd by the sea, Jesus was interrupted by a synagogue leader named Jairus, who was desperate to heal his dying daughter (Mark 5:21-24). Jesus immediately responded and set off to Jairus' house. On the way there, another interruption occurred—a woman suffering from a bleeding disorder reached out in faith to touch His garment, and Jesus stopped to minister to her (Mark 5:25-34).

Imagine the tension in this moment. Jairus must have been anxiously urging Jesus to hurry while the crowd wondered what would happen next. Yet, Jesus, fully aware of both needs, didn't rush past the woman's pain. He stopped, looked at her, and called her "daughter"—restoring her physically, emotionally, and socially. Although it seemed like the delay was slowing Jesus down, He arrived right on time and healed Jairus's daughter even more miraculously by raising her from the dead.

This story teaches us something profound: God's interruptions are never accidents. What feels like a disruption to our plans is often part of His divine orchestration. The very moments that seem to throw us off course are often the places where God shows up most powerfully.

We see this pattern throughout Scripture. Moses was interrupted by a burning bush when he thought his life as a shepherd would end in the desert. David was called from the sheepfold to anointing oil, not knowing he'd be king. Saul was knocked off his horse on the road to Damascus, turning a murderous Pharisee into the Apostle Paul. In each case, God used an interruption to change the trajectory of their lives.

God still works this way today. How many divine moments have we missed because we were too focused on our plans to see what He was doing? Could it be that the very thing we're resisting is God inviting us into something deeper, more meaningful, and far more significant than our original agenda?

The next time your day is interrupted, stop and reframe your perspective. Instead of viewing it as a detour, view it as an invitation. Pray for God to open your eyes to His presence in the moment and ask Him, "Lord, what are You trying to teach me in this interruption?"

Let’s Pray: Dear Lord, thank You for being in control of my life. Please help me to see interruptions as opportunities for You to work in and through me. Grant me patience and faith to embrace your purpose in each moment. Lead me, guide me, and use me for your glory. In Jesus's Name I pray. Amen.

Devotionals for the Heart: Why we should ask God for a heart like His


A Heart to See as God Sees
A devotional by Monique M. Anderson

“For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” –1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV)

One day, the Lord spoke to me through a friend of mine.

She approached me randomly while volunteering at church and said, “God wants you to tell Him what you want.” Completely puzzled, I replied, “Huh?” She repeated herself. I stood there in silence, momentarily processing the question.

I feel like this is the “million-dollar question” that we all wish God would ask us. If we had time to practice, we could provide Him with a long list of things. However, when you are not expecting it, it can be daunting to think of everything you want on the spot. Nonetheless, slowly, each desire started to come to mind one by one: what I wanted for myself, my future, my family, my finances, business, ministry, etc. Once I got going, tears started to flow as I thought about the more in-depth things I wanted—certain loved ones to come to know Jesus Christ and give their life to Him, for other loved ones to be delivered or healed.

Once I was done listing everything in my heart, my friend continued to deliver God’s message to me. The Lord told her he would grant me the desires of my heart under one condition: I had to see His people’s hearts the way He did. These are the same people I continually pray for but find challenging to minister to. I had to find a way to see their hearts how God sees them so that I can reach them.

God was giving me a conditional promise. If I did not keep up my end of the bargain, God would not deliver on His. There was just one problem: It was hard for me to see good hearts in challenging people. Particularly in people whose behaviors and actions do not align with a good heart. How could I see what I could not see?

One day, while praying for one of these seemingly difficult people. I started to ask God to help me. I asked Him to help me see this person’s true heart, and not what they portray. It wasn’t easy at first. I did not understand how this would work. Then the Holy Spirit stepped in, and I found myself praying the Word of God over them.

I started to declare Psalm 51:10 (NKJV) by saying, “Create in them a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit.” I also prayed Jeremiah 24:7 (NKJV) by saying, “Give them a heart to know you, Lord, and they will be your child, and you will be their God, and they will return to you with their whole heart.” Finally, I prayed Ezekiel 36:26 (NKJV) by saying, “Give them a new heart, Lord, and put a new spirit within them. Take out their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.”

On and on I went, praying God’s truth over the lies of their character and calling those things that were not as if they were. I spoke about what I wanted to see and what God already sees. I continued this daily until I started to see them the way God does. I began to see the actual pain behind their ugly behavior. I started to see the true intent of their ungodly actions. It was genius. It made it easier to show compassion for those who are challenging to love and minister to.

I don’t know who you are called to help, but not everyone you are sent to will be an easy case. Whether a family member or a stranger, we are all called to help God’s people, especially the challenging ones. We can’t run from them or hide from the assignment. We must tend to those in need. Therefore, I encourage you to pray for what you want to see for your loved one. Pray God’s truth over them so that while you wait on the Lord to change them internally, you can already begin to see what God saw all along.

Let’s Pray: Father God, I thank You for the call. Although challenging, I thank You for equipping me for the task. Thank You for showing me the heart of your people so that I can better serve them and tend to their spiritual needs. Thank You for showing me how to be as compassionate as your Son Jesus Christ. Continue to guide me and teach me to walk in Your ways. In Jesus’s Name I pray. Amen.

Since God has shown her who He created her to be, she now feels it is her life’s work to help those taking their first steps in their walk with Jesus Christ.

Devotionals for the Heart: When you need God to transform your life

 


A Promise of Transformation
A devotional by Essie Faye Taylor

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” –2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV)

I was frustrated, disgusted, hopeless, helpless, disappointed, and discouraged. I was in a rut. 

After spending nearly two decades in the educational field, I was exhausted. It seemed like all of the years I’d dedicated to fighting for inner city Black and Brown children to have access to information and resources were in vain. The sacrifices encouraging students who ultimately made questionable choices, and the losses (kids lost to violence in the streets or those who never finished their high school degrees) were heartbreaking. The seemingly unsurmountable obstacles to equity in education overwhelmed me. I needed a change. I needed a paradigm shift. I need a mental transformation and revival. 

Many times in life, we need a personal transformation. This may be spiritual, physical, mental, emotional, or financial. We need a change because we get stuck in a toxic cycle of negative thinking due to us feeling devalued, defeated, and burnt out. People, especially in the church, felt this way during Bible times too. In the Bible verse above, the Apostle Paul encourages the Corinthian church. He writes of God’s promise of spiritual transformation and a fresh start. Transformation denotes a change in form, nature, appearance, or character. 

Paul could talk about God’s promise of transformation and a fresh start from experience. He was a devout follower of God. Paul studied under the scholar Gamaliel and was a student of the Bible. He was born a Jew and grew up well-educated. Before his name was changed to Paul, he known as Saul and he was devoted to the sect of Pharisees that he persecuted the church of Jesus Christ. Saul had authority to kill those who proclaimed the name of Christ. He was a part of the crowd who stoned the anointed deacon Stephen. He thought that he was doing the right thing, until He met Jesus who stopped him on the road to Damascus. Jesus called his name and blinded him. Saul was converted and his life was transformed after he was born again. This murderer and man who spoke against Jesus and his followers—he sought to kill the saints—was then found preaching about Jesus and proclaiming the Gospel. He became new because of his encounter with Jesus and he received a fresh start. His mind and heart were was transformed. His heart was transformed. He was a new creation with a new mission and a new name: Paul. 

God promises to make you new too! He will change your life and grant you a brand new start. Like Paul’s past persecution of the saints, your past will be forgiven by God. Scripture goes as far as to say that God will be compassionate with us and he will throw our sins into “the depths of the sea” (Micah 7:19). God will remove our sins from before Him, forgive us and forget our sins (Hebrews 8:12).

In the book of Jeremiah, God declares “for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more” (Jeremiah 31:34). This scripture means that God will forgive us and give us a clean slate. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, God promises to make us new, once we are in Christ. Once we believe the Gospel of Christ and receive Christ, we are transformed in our lives, our thinking, our practices, and our habits. This is a process that we begin, step by step and day by day. We are no longer condemned by the sins of our past. We have a new beginning!

Call to Action:

Step #1: Lay down your weariness, exhaustion, frustration at the feet of Christ. He will make you new. He will revive and rejuvenate you. He will transform your life, for the better!

Step #2: Practice walking in the newness of life and according to biblical principles day by day. Transformation takes practice, time, and intention. 

Step #3: Embrace God’s forgiveness daily. Know that you’ve been forgiven. Don’t dwell on your past sins, mistakes, and shortcomings. It happened, but you have been forgiven. You are no longer condemned. Let the past stay in the past and walk forward into the new promise of the present and future. 

Step #4:  Get thinking right: We are human. We make mistakes. But we have hope! According to 1 John 1:9 (KJV), “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” That cleansing is part of our newness. We are constantly renewed in Christ. 

Step #5: Remember, our identity in Christ is transformative! We become new, forgiven and accepted into God’s Royal Family. 

Let's Pray: 

Heavenly Father, I thank You for choosing me and calling me your child. Thank You for assuring me of your love and forgiveness. You cried, “Father, forgive them”, while we were sinners. You did for me then, despite my mistakes and faults. You said that I could cast my cares on you. You said that if I confess my sin, you would forgive me. I come to you today confessing and believing your promise of transformation. I am in Christ and I am new. I am forgiven. I am changed. My old life, sinful practices, and thinking are in the past. I am walking forward in victory by changing my habits, practices, thoughts, and lifestyle. Thank you for giving me the power and principles to live a transformative life of abundance in Christ. Thank you Father for hearing and answering me. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Devotionals for the Heart: Why We Need to Remember Our True Source


The Brook Cherith Season
A devotional by Monique M. Anderson

“Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan.”—1 Kings 17:3 (NKJV)

I was finally in a good rhythm.

I had a monthly theme for all my blogs and newsletters. My social media posts were created and scheduled a month in advance, correlating with the theme. I had finally gotten a handle on creating reels consistently and effortlessly. They were reaching thousands on social media every week. My email subscribers were growing, and my followers were increasing. The words God had given me to teach and edify His people were reaching and stretching to countries worldwide, and I knew this was only the beginning. Just as the momentum was building, God told me to, “Stop. Get away and hide.”

We find the prophet Elijah in the same predicament in this verse in 1 Kings 17:3. He was starting his ministry. God had just instructed Elijah to give a word of the Lord to King Ahab, announcing there would be no rain in the land. Giving this word was his first assignment, then God said, “get away from here” and “hide.”

I wonder if Elijah asked the same questions I did. Such as: “But God, we’re just getting started.” “You’ve given me so many assignments to complete, and they’ve only just begun. So why am I stopping now?”

I was confused and felt lost. I didn’t quite know how to obey this command. How do I keep still? How do I not do the work God gave me to do? I sometimes felt worthless if I didn’t have “work” to do. However, when the Holy Spirit led me to this scripture, I realized why Elijah needed to be alone at the brook and why God brought me here.

During Elijah’s time at the brook, God sent ravens to feed him. God placed him in a situation where he had to rely on God and God alone to provide for him. God sometimes needs to separate us, even from the work we do for Him, so we can remember our true source. At some point, God needs to bring all of us to a place where we have no choice but to walk by faith and not by sight.

Although my workflow was structured and in order, this order was not God’s order. It was not God’s structure. Therefore, He had to tear it down. I thought I was on my way up, but God brought me back to the valley for an important reason and lesson.

The Brook Cherith season is a time of strengthening your devotion and dependence on God. It is a training and building-up season for the next season to come. After Elijah spent three years in a season of isolation, (1 Kings 18:1) he then went from the brook to the mountaintop. In the next chapter, he performed a prophetic miracle on Mount Carmel by bringing down fire from Heaven (1 Kings 18:38-39). This sign and wonder showed the idolatrous nation of Israel who the one and only true God is.

Throughout the Bible, you will see examples of the valley experience before the mountaintop miracles. For example, Joseph was imprisoned before he made it to the palace, God hid David in caves before he became king, and Moses was hidden in the wilderness before he led the people out of Egypt.

We all need a season alone with God to prepare us for our greater assignment. The next level God was leading these heroes required Him to do inner work in them first. First, He will need to build your character and discipline. Next, He trains you in obedience and reliance on Him. Finally, He shows us that nothing we do or accomplish can succeed without Him.

We cannot manipulate this season and try to rush ourselves through it. It would be like giving birth to a baby before it is fully developed; complications and abnormalities will occur. If God has you in this season, as He has me, don’t look at it as idle time. This time is valuable. It is a time to be molded, sculpted, and pruned by God Almighty. It is time He chooses to allocate to you exclusively. We should feel privileged because God wants us all to himself. He is even willing to put aside His work to do some work in you.

All the work you’ve been doing for Him was valuable for that season. However, what He needs you to do next will make another version of yourself you have not yet met. Only He knows who you need to become for your fire on Mount Carmel moment.

I’ve learned to be grateful for this time. I no longer try to fight against what He wants to bring forth. I no longer want to rush through the process because I might lose followers or subscribers. Instead, I am allowing myself to be groomed by Him, which feels great!

According to the Blue Letter Bible app, the word "Cherith" means "cutting, to cut away, or separation". That is the purpose of this time; to cut out what is not needed. After the cutting, all that is left is you and God. I appreciate this hidden season and all the things He is cutting away that no one else can see. He is cleaning me up for my big premiere. Therefore, I will praise and thank Him for the Brook Cherith season.

Let’s Pray:
Father God, I thank You for the Brook Cherith. I thank You for a season of isolation to be with You alone. Thank You for Your desire to be with me in this way. Forgive me for wanting to rush through this precious time. Forgive me for putting my structure before yours. I am yours now. Have Your way in my life. Continue to prepare me for the next season. May Your will be done and not my own. In Jesus’s Name I pray. Amen.
