Daily Devotions For Busy Moms

Overcome the World TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” (John 16:33, AMP) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria When trials and tribulations come, as children of the Most High God, we can take courage; we can be confident, and we can have perfect peace. Why? Because perfect peace doesn’t come from the world. Courage doesn’t come from the world and neither does confidence. These things come from a relationship with Almighty God. We can have hope in challenging times because God has promised us victory. As long as we stay in fa...

I hate bullies! I can’t stand to see someone who seemingly has the upper hand take an unfair advantage of someone else. They make threats and cause havoc all because they think they can. I’ve noticed that, most of the time, a bully is all talk. They will make you think they are going to do something to you but it turns out they were just trying to scare you into believing they are more important than they really were. If anyone can give us insight into the adverse effects of giving in to a bully’s threats it would be Elijah. In 1 Kings 19 you’ll discover a man who has just been used by God to utterly destroy over 400 prophets of Baal. He was an ordinary man who did extraordinary things. But after this great victory he was suddenly caught in the grips of a paralyzing fear because of threats on his life by Jezebel. Always remember that the enemy won’t bother with anyone who is not doing something great for God. Have you ever felt life’s subtle and not so subtle threats? You...

Don’t Be Defined by the Limits of Others TODAY’S SCRIPTURE "Your word, LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens." (Psalm 119:89, NIV) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria Most people’s thoughts were programmed by the people who raised them or by what somebody spoke over them. Maybe they were good people, doing the best they can, but their words are limiting you. As long as you believe what they said about you, their words are defining you. The key to breaking those limitations is to start meditating on what God says about you. A transformation will take place when you renew your mind. Reprogram your thinking with what God says about you. God says, “The path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter.” All through the day say, “I’m rising higher. I haven’t seen my best days. Something good is going to happen to me.” As yo...

Break Out of Your Cocoon TODAY’S SCRIPTURE "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind…" (Romans 12:2, NIV) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria On the inside of each one of us is a blessed, prosperous, victorious person. This person is free from addictions and bad habits, confident and secure in God. But just because that’s in you doesn’t mean it’s going to automatically come out. In today’s scripture, that word “transformed” in the original language is “metamorpho.” It’s where we get our word “metamorphose.” We know how a caterpillar metamorphoses into a butterfly. This is saying that if you meditate on God’s Word, then a transformation will take place. Think about the little caterpillar. It’s very plain, nothing really special about it. At a certain point, it forms a cocoo...

God Looks Beyond the Surface TODAY’S SCRIPTURE "The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7, NIV) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria Your Creator can see things in you that other people cannot see. Sometimes people will try to push you down or make you feel insignificant. Sometimes our own thoughts will try to convince us that we don’t measure up. But God looks beyond the surface, beyond the mistakes you’ve made, beyond what somebody said about you and sees your incredible value. You may think, “Joel, I’ve messed up. I have blown it. I have failed. I’m all washed up.” No, God still sees more in you. God doesn’t just see what you are; He sees what you can become. You may have made some mistakes, but God still sees victory on the insid...
