Ep. 374 - The Best or the Worst?

Revived to Life Daily Devotional

November 6, 2024 • Proverbs 29:25, John 15:15, Ephesians 1:4–7

Give

MINISTRY MOMENT

Who are you letting define you? If it’s anyone other than the Lord, you’re going to live your whole life trying to hit a moving target. People are fickle. God is not.

PRAYER POINT

"Lord, help us to find our identity in You and not try to find it anywhere else. Not in our performance, our possessions, our finances - not even our family. May we find ourselves secure in You and nothing else."

GOING DEEPER

Read and study Proverbs 29:25, John 15:15, and Ephesians 1:4-7.

WALK IT OUT

Have an honest conversation with the Lord and invite the Holy Spirit to help you honestly access where you find yourself getting your identity from.

SHARE WITH OTHERS

I would encourage you to be willing to have an open dialogue with your closest friends and ask them this question: whose opinion do they value the most...and why? Where does God fit in the rankings?

Ep. 415 - Silence ≠ Rejection

December 17, 2024 • Psalm 22

MINISTRY MOMENT Have you ever experienced silence in your relationship with God? What did you believe that to be? Do you allow your silent moments to be intentional? Why or why not? PRAYER POINT “Father, through all of the silence, I trust You! You are kind and patient, more than anyone I know. I ask that You bring comfort to me. Speak to me, even in the midst of silence. Thank You, Lord! Amen!” GOING DEEPER Read and study Psalms 22. WALK IT OUT Allow yourself to reflect during your silent times. Why is God being silent? What can I learn from His character? SHARE WITH OTHERS Encourage others with the same! Our God is patient and in no rush to make decisions! Allow His silence to minister to your heart!

Ep. 414 - Don't Take it Back

December 16, 2024 • Proverbs 3:5–6, Isaiah 41:10, Jeremiah 17:7–8

MINISTRY MOMENT What is emotionally weighing you down right now? What has you “trying to fix it” and unable to - all at the same time? There’s a great chance that you’re carrying something that you were never supposed to. PRAYER POINT “Jesus, I give You my burdens. I give You the weight I’m carrying that I know I was never meant to. I lay it at Your feet, and I’m not gonna pick it up again. It’s Yours. I trust You with the outcome.” GOING DEEPER Read and study Proverbs 3:5-6, Isaiah 41:10, and Jeremiah 17:7-8. WALK IT OUT Give yourself a daily assessment with your thoughts. What are your thoughts focusing on? What are the taxes you’re emotionally/mentally paying and are they ones you were meant to pay? Be willing to honestly audit yourself, and hand off the ones you aren’t meant to pay. SHARE WITH OTHERS Invite your closest confidant (spouse would be great) and be willing to “audit” one another on how - and what - you are carrying.

Ep. 413 - Our Dependency

December 15, 2024 • Matthew 18:3–4, 2 Corinthians 12:9

MINISTRY MOMENT Even though God is the giver of the capabilities that we have, He wants to partner with us in our endeavors. Are we doing that? PRAYER POINT “Dear God, please humble me and allow me to understand what a childlike humility and dependence on You should look like in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” GOING DEEPER Read and study Matthew 18:3-4 and 2 Corinthians 12:9. WALK IT OUT Let’s be real with ourselves and ask ourselves if it ever feels like we advance forward before calling upon Jesus and asking Him to influence our pursuit of anything in life. SHARE WITH OTHERS You can verbally encourage people towards relying on God as their source, but when they see the fruit of it in your life as you live it out, they will be impacted.
