Daniel 6:12-13

A devotional inspired by RESPECT, written by Tasha Cobbs Leonard.

Have you ever felt like your life is stuck in a place that looks nothing like the dreams God gave you? You’re not alone. In this 3-day devotional, we’ll reflect on a key moment in Joseph’s story to discover how God uses the empty places in our lives to prepare us for purpose. Whether you’re facing opposition, navigating uncertainty, or struggling with the weight of waiting, these devotionals will encourage you to trust God’s process. Your low place is not the end; it’s a step on the journey to your destiny.

Where does our power and motivation as leaders come from? As Christian leaders, we must acknowledge that apart from God, we are nothing. This four-day devotional helps us practice the lifelong exercise of turning from pride to humility, rebellion to obedience, and fear to empowerment, turning our gaze from our earthly Babylons toward the heavenly Jerusalem.

The days in which “Christian values” were largely embraced in business and culture are long gone. Our sense of “exile” feels increasingly acute. How are you as a Christian professional supposed to respond to that sobering reality? In this reading plan, we’ll answer that question together as we explore four biblical principles for working in exile.
