RHM Morning Devotional

“Test Yourself” is a devotional built on 2 Corinthians 13:5, where Paul urges us to “examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith.” We are living in a season of chaos—soaring prices, sudden job cuts, constant uncertainty. Yet in the middle of this turbulence, those who truly belong to Christ are called to live by faith, not by sight. We may be rattled, but we are not destroyed; bent, but not broken. This devotional invites you to honestly examine your heart and ask: Is my faith genuine? It will help you recognize the difference between merely claiming to be a Christian and truly trusting Christ in every storm. As you test yourself in the light of God’s Word, you will begin to see how Jesus has been with you all along—opening doors, providing daily bread, making a way when there seemed to be no way. If, in that examination, you discover that your faith has been shallow or misplaced, that realization is not your end—it is your invitation. Right there, you can fall to your knees, cry out to God, and allow Him to lead you back to the path of true, living faith. “Test Yourself” will encourage you to: Examine your faith honestly and biblically Recognize Christ’s presence and provision in hard times Turn from deception and drift, and return to God’s path Find peace, clarity, and courage as you anchor your life in JesusIn a world shaking all around us, this is a call to be sure of what cannot be shaken: a genuine faith in Christ.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/rhm-morning-devotional--6860108/support.

Don’t Worry, Be Joyful is a devotional rooted in John 15:9–12, where Jesus reminds His disciples—and us—that when we keep His commandments, we remain in His love, and when we remain in His love, His joy becomes our own, overflowing from within. In a world filled with chaos, corruption, rising prices, and constant bad news, worry can feel like the only natural response. Yet that worry slowly cuts us off from the very joy and peace God longs to give us.This devotional invites you to shift your focus from what is wrong in the world to who is still on the throne. As you choose faith over fear and confidence in God over anxiety about circumstances, you make room for the Holy Spirit to release love, patience, grace, mercy, and true joy in your life. Jesus commands us to love one another as He has loved us—and part of that love is refusing to let the enemy steal our peace, our joy, or our God-given moments of abundant life.Don’t Worry, Be Joyful will encourage you to:Remain in Christ’s love by trusting His word over what you see.Overcome worry with faith in God’s power and goodness.Rediscover the joy that cannot be taken by circumstances.Live as a child of the Most High, enjoying the abundant life He promised.Despite everything happening around you, you can choose to walk in His love, live in His joy, and truly enjoy the life God has given you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/rhm-morning-devotional--6860108/support.

Title: Be Careful Who You Listen ToFoundational Scripture: John 10:1–5, 14–16; John 8:31–32 In John 10, Jesus describes Himself as the Good Shepherd and His followers as His sheep—those who recognize His voice and follow Him. He warns that thieves and robbers climb in “some other way,” coming only to deceive, steal, and destroy. Their voices do not lead to life, but to confusion, division, and destruction.In our world, there are many voices that claim to tell us the truth—commentators, influencers, politicians, and even friends. When we constantly listen to them, we begin to see life through their words. Their opinions become our filters. We start to treat what they say as unquestionable fact, even when it misrepresents people and situations. We may end up judging others unfairly, writing off those who are actually trying to do good, or forming deep resentment and division in our hearts—all because we’ve allowed the wrong filter to shape our view.Jesus offers a different way. In John 8:31–32, He says that if we remain in His teaching, we will know the truth, and the truth will set us free. The only reliable filter for our decisions, our judgments, and our view of others is the truth that comes from Christ. His Word exposes lies, corrects false assumptions, and frees us from the manipulation and machinations of people.There is a real enemy whose goal is to destroy us. He works by distraction and deception, planting ideas about others that are not grounded in God’s truth. When we listen more closely to those voices than to the voice of Jesus, we become vulnerable to division, fear, and hate.This devotional calls us back to being true sheep of the Good Shepherd—those who know His voice, trust His Word, and examine every other voice through the filter of His truth. We are invited to lay down the filters built by media, culture, and human bias, and to let Christ alone shape how we see people, how we discern motives, and how we respond. Only His voice leads to life, freedom, and genuine love for others.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/rhm-morning-devotional--6860108/support.
