The Crosswalk Devotional: A Daily Devotional Christian Podcast

When the songwriter Asaph was going through a lonely time of feeling abandoned by God, he wrote this in Psalm 77:6 as the beginning of his mental process to convince himself God was still with him: “I remembered my songs in the night” (NIV).  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-da...

Are there moments when your life feels small? Take note of any patterns. Do you feel less than great whenever you get together with that one friend who seems to have a glamorous, exciting life? Or do you feel discontentment bubbling whenever you spend time on social media?

Jesus knows that on the inside, at the level of soul and spirit, we often hunger for something much deeper than physical bread. And that part of ourselves, that indescribable but ultimately recognizable part of who we are, can only be filled by a connection with the one who redeems us.  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/ Your Daily Bi...

By actively pursuing God’s wonder and praising God when you find it, you can rise above your immediate concerns and experience God’s awesome presence.

The richer we are toward God, the more filled we become with all the things, like joy, peace, and soul-deep fulfillment, the foolish man thought he’d gain through storehouses of grain.

If you aren’t usually a morning person, consider exploring the act of waking with the Spirit for one week. It might take a few days to get into the habit, so be patient. While Christian culture might portray a certain set of circumstances/materials as “essentials” for time with God (cue the coffee, candles, journal, and fancy pen), the truth is that the only thing that’s essential for time with Go...

Continue to submit to Him, follow Him, and love Him. Choose to refrain from leaning on your own understanding and start leaning on God. Through studying the Bible, you will start seeing things as God sees them as well as you will understand His will better.  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifea...

Ask God to open your eyes to the opportunities to serve and to give you the strength and wisdom to act on them. Pray earnestly for more laborers – including yourself – to be sent into God’s harvest.

When we live through the word of God, the way he intended us to live, for him.. through him. That is when we experience true joy, and can use that joy to spread the word to the world.

Are you taking time to listen well to others before responding? How can you respond more like Jesus? Are you quick to listen to the Holy Spirit or do you jump to respond in your flesh? Pray and ask God to help you live this out.

You may or may not go to church looking for God's presence. You may or may not feel like you need God to reveal God's self to you in some way, but God’s presence, and God’s power define the church. The church, amid all its flaws and humanness, is like a big neon sign from the God saying, “If you want to find me, you can find me here.” Even today, the church is the house of the Lord.

We can overcome the world and its struggles because Jesus already has. Rather than trying to take matters into our own hands, we need to trust in Him, allow Him to direct our steps, and apply His teachings into our lives. Whenever we feel without hope in our trouble or distress, we need to remember that the Lord has overcome the world and we can take heart in this promise.  SUBSCRIBE to our sister...

When Joshua finally led the Israelites into the Promised Land, it was because of God’s powerful presence along the way. The new work you’re starting can also be successful when you trust God while you work. As you step out in faith, be encouraged that God is with you and will never leave nor forsake you. God’s presence is your strength, his promises are your hope, and his faithfulness is your assu...

The purpose of fostering a Christ-like community is to share the same love God has shown us. He called us to spread the Gospel and the only effective way to do that is through community. What we must remember is that our time on this Earth is limited and so many of us don’t realize just how limited.  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/...

Take a moment to analyze your life. Are there any areas you realize are out of control? Are there areas that you indulge in that have become idols in your life? It is easy to have these idols creep into our lives. With God, we always hope to push those idols aside and allow ourselves not to be mastered by anything.  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/yo...

Next time you wonder how a good God could allow such sorrowful moments and seasons, will you consider the beautiful blessings they also hold? Notice how those divine presents make you feel in the midst of the treacherous-at-times storms? If you look for him, look for them, you will find his continual blessings. Radiant touches of joy, heart swelling doses of love, generous infusions of peace, and...

The Lord sees everything we do! As believers, we don’t live for today; we have an eternal hope. For those of us alive in Christ, our eternal rewards are far greater than anything we can experience on this earth.   SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-bible-verse/ Full Transcr...

If we are fortunate enough to die of old age, perhaps we’ll be patiently or eagerly awaiting what is on the other side, but one thing we can do right now is have faith. God has not called us to live in fear of anything else but Him, and even that biblical fear is a reverential attitude towards the Lord. Loving, acknowledging, and trusting in His majesty.  SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Dai...

Take a moment and look at your life. Do you taste and see that God is good? Do you see dire circumstances or trials as punishment by God? Or do you see them as a redirection where God is moving you into areas where you can better serve him? Do you know God is good, or do you see trials as punishment?

Anything and everything we are given the ability to do, is a gift that we have the blessing to be a part of. But we should most certainly continue to call on God for direction, for what to start, and what to stop.

We can have confidence that our prayers aren’t falling flat or fading away into nothingness. Like Revelation 5:8 reveals, our prayers are preserved and still at work long after they are spoken. “And when He had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of Go...

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.   “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” Ephesians 6:1-3 NIV SUBSCRIBE to our sister podcasts: Your Daily Prayer:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-daily-prayer/ Your Daily Bible Verse:  https://www.lifeaudio.com/your-dai...

If we follow our selfish ambition or conceit, it will lead to destruction—at breakneck speed. Jesus, on the other hand, teaches us that the road to life looks a lot more like walking, stopping, talking, and allowing ourselves to move at the speed of love. Just like vehicles have built-in governors to prevent them from driving at dangerous speeds, God gives us speed governors for our lives, too—the...

What would it look like for you to take it easy and to let go of your record of wrongs? Perhaps, take a second to repent and then receive God’s grace for you. He doesn’t look at you and see every mistake you’ve ever made; He looks at you and sees the righteousness of Jesus. He loves you and will continue to help you.
