    The One Reason Your Advice is Being Ignored | Hebrews 11:23 | 5-Min Daily Devotional

    *The One Reason Your Advice is Being Ignored | Hebrews 11:23 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | 21 March 2026* Have you ever felt like you are talking to a brick wall? You try to give the best advice to your children or friends, but it feels like it goes in one ear and out of the other. It can be a very lonely feeling. In this video, we explore a simple secret that changes how we influence the people we love: _Faith is caught, not taught._ We look at the story of Moses and his mother, Jochebed, to see how a quiet life of trust can change the world. You do not need to be an expert or have all the answers. You just need to be real in the "messy bits" of everyday life. _In this video, you will discover:_ - Why people follow what you do rather than what you say. - How to practice "ambient discipleship" in your kitchen or car. - Why your ordinary moments are never wasted. *Today's Bible Verse:* "It was by faith that Moses’ parents hid him for three months when he was born... and they were not afraid to disobey the king’s command." - Hebrews 11:23 (NLT). *Next Step:* Choose one ordinary moment today to mention God’s goodness out loud to someone else. 💌 Get these devotionals in your inbox each morning: https://devotional.battledrilldevotional.com 🎙 Podcast: https://battledrilldevotional.com 🔗 Connect with me: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/battledrilldevotional Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/battledrilldevotional/ X/Twitter: https://x.com/BattleDrillPod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@battledrilldevotional Hashtags #5minutedailydevotional #dailydevotional #robwestwoodpayne #biblestudy More devotionals and resources: battledrilldevotional.com.

    When your enemy starts paying your bills | Exodus 2:9 | 5-Min Daily Devotional

    *When your enemy starts paying your bills | Exodus 2:9 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | 20 March 2026* What if the very person who wanted to destroy your future was the one who ended up funding it? It sounds like a film plot, but it is a true story about how God works in the dark.  In this video, we look at the incredible story of Jochebed from Exodus 2. She was a mother facing a hopeless situation, forced to let go of her son to save his life. But God has a divine sense of humour.

Learn how God outsmarts the powerful and turns a season of "forced labour" into a season of provision.  _In this video:_ - How to find peace when you are overwhelmed by problems.  - The "divine twist" that turns messes into miracles.  - Why your biggest "basket" might be your next blessing.  - A simple step to find hope today.  _Next Steps:_ - _Share your story:_ Has God ever surprised you with a "divine twist"? Tell us in the comments!  - _Subscribe:_ Join our community for daily 5-minute Bible devotionals that bring hope to your everyday life. - _Watch Tomorrow:_ We explore why kids might not be listening and the secret to "ambient discipleship."  💌 Get these devotionals in your inbox each morning: https://devotional.battledrilldevotional.com 🎙 Podcast: https://battledrilldevotional.com 🔗 Connect with me: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/battledrilldevotional Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/battledrilldevotional/ X/Twitter: https://x.com/BattleDrillPod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@battledrilldevotional Hashtags #5minutedailydevotional #dailydevotional #robwestwoodpayne #biblestudy More devotionals and resources: battledrilldevotional.com.

    *The Voice They Will Hear in 2046 | Proverbs 31:30 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | 19 March 2026* Have you ever wondered why certain words from your childhood still ring in your ears today? It might have been a sharp comment from a teacher or a kind whisper from a grandparent.  The truth is a bit haunting: the small things you say to someone today might become their inner voice 20 years from now. You are an architect of someone else’s future confidence.  _In this video - we look at:_ - How to build a positive "audio legacy" for those you love.  - The story of Jochebed - a mother who only had a few years to influence her son - Moses.  - Why specific encouragement builds grit that lasts a lifetime.  - How your words at work or over the garden fence have a long shelf life. _Scripture Focus:_ "Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a person who fears the Lord will be greatly praised." - Proverbs 31:30  _Today's Practical Step:_ Think of someone who spoke "sticky words" of life into you. Send them a quick text today to say thank you. _Next Time:_ What happens when your biggest problem becomes your biggest paycheque? Join us tomorrow as we see how God outsmarts the powerful to provide for his children. 💌 Get these devotionals in your inbox each morning: https://devotional.battledrilldevotional.com 🎙 Podcast: https://battledrilldevotional.com 🔗 Connect with me: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/battledrilldevotional Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/battledrilldevotional/ X/Twitter: https://x.com/BattleDrillPod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@battledrilldevotional Hashtags #5minutedailydevotional #dailydevotional #robwestwoodpayne #biblestudy More devotionals and resources: battledrilldevotional.com.

    The "15 Cigarettes" habit you didn't know you had | Exodus 2:1-3 | 5-Min Daily Devotional

    *The "15 Cigarettes" habit you didn't know you had | Exodus 2:1-3 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | 18 March 2026* Did you know that your social life is just as vital as your lungs?. Doctors have found something quite shocking. They say that being lonely is as bad for your health as smoking fifteen cigarettes every single day. It actually hurts our physical bodies. Even if we eat well and stay active, our hearts struggle to cope when we feel invisible. In this video, we look at a story from the Bible about a woman named Jochebed. She lived as a slave in Egypt and felt like a nobody in the eyes of the powerful Pharaoh. She was facing a terrible situation with her baby boy. Yet, her story shows us that God has a habit of doing his best work through people that others often overlook. You are seen by him today. We also share a simple cure for this ache called "Relational Medicine". It does not cost a penny, but it can save a life. _Key moments:_ 0:00 - The health risk of loneliness  0:42 - A story for the "nobodies"  1:16 - Jochebed’s desperate choice  2:10 - Why you are never truly invisible 2:42 - How to practice "Relational Medicine" *Next Step:* Reach out to one person this week who might be carrying a quiet ache. Let them know you are thinking of them. It is a small step, but it is a holy one. 💌 Get these devotionals in your inbox each morning: https://devotional.battledrilldevotional.com 🎙 Podcast: https://battledrilldevotional.com 🔗 Connect with me: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/battledrilldevotional Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/battledrilldevotional/ X/Twitter: https://x.com/BattleDrillPod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@battledrilldevotional Hashtags #5minutedailydevotional #dailydevotional #robwestwoodpayne #biblestudy More devotionals and resources: battledrilldevotional.com.

    Stop trying to ‘fix’ your child (Do this instead) | Exodus 2:2 | 5-Min Daily Devotional

    *Stop trying to ‘fix’ your child (Do this instead) | Exodus 2:2 | 5-Min Daily Devotional | 17 March 2026* Have you ever felt a bit of panic when you look at your child? We all want our children to be "good" - to be polite, get decent exam results, and stay out of trouble. But what if our idea of "good" is actually too small? In this short Bible devotional, we look at the story of Moses and his mother, Jochebed. When she looked at her baby, she saw something much deeper than just a "cute" child. She saw that he was _tov_ - an ancient word that means he was fit for God's specific purpose. Stop trying to "fix" the young people in your life for a moment and start looking for the "God-good" spark inside them. *In this video, you will discover:* - The difference between being well-behaved and being "God-good". - Why Jochebed saw a future for Moses that no one else could see. - A 30-minute challenge to change how you see your children today. *Next Step:* Tell a child one good quality you see in them that has nothing to do with their behaviour or their grades. *Watch tomorrow:* We will look at a health risk equal to smoking 15 cigarettes a day and how the power of being "seen" can help. 💌 Get these devotionals in your inbox each morning: https://devotional.battledrilldevotional.com 🎙 Podcast: https://battledrilldevotional.com 🔗 Connect with me: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/battledrilldevotional Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/battledrilldevotional/ X/Twitter: https://x.com/BattleDrillPod TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@battledrilldevotional Hashtags #5minutedailydevotional #dailydevotional #robwestwoodpayne #biblestudy More devotionals and resources: battledrilldevotional.com.
