6/16/25

Good morning Friends,

1 Timothy 6:6-8 NLT
[6] Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. [7] After all, we brought nothing with us when we came into the world, and we can’t take anything with us when we leave it. [8] So if we have enough food and clothing, let us be content.

In this time, there were apparently people who did not obey the truth of God and believed that practicing religion was a way to make money. Plain schemers!

The Apostle Paul is sharing with Timothy the essence of spiritual wealth. The cataclysmic combination of godliness and contentment is the key. Godly character coupled with quiet satisfaction and peace is clutch and highly underrated!!!

A person who is spiritually lost is often more motivated by material things, than spiritual wealth. True satisfaction comes from godliness, not money, material possessions, business mergers & acquisitions, retro Jordans, lace fronts, bitcoin, expensive restaurants, world travel, low-riders, red-bottoms, or living in high rises.

Be content with the current blessings that you possess. See the beauty in the things that provide the most impact, effortlessly. Oftentimes we overlook the greatest blessings for material ones. Fortify your relationship with God. Cling to and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Spend quality time with God each day. Sacrifice moments of pleasure for moments of spiritual clarity and growth. You will not regret it. 

God over money! 

Maranatha (The Lord is coming)  
Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone)

- Grace & Peace

    "Lace fronts" LOL... Well keeping true to previous devotional "laugher is good for the soul". But on a serious note, getting caught up in the material things of this world is so easy to do when everything around us promotes abundance of "things: and not the one who came to give us life and life more abundantly. Where if we just seek first the kingdom of God HE will give us a fulfilling life which may or may not include "things" but will surly include love, joy, peace, kindness, etc all the way to eternal life.

Daily Devotional - August 21, 2025

8/21/25 Good morning, Friends,  1 Thessalonians 4:11 -11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet 🤫 life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you, Everybody these days wants to shine. Social media has people chasing likes, clout, and attention, trying to be seen instead of just being faithful. But the Word of God cuts through all that noise: “Lead a quiet life. Mind your business. Work with your hands.” That’s not flashy. That won’t go viral. But that’s the grind God respects. See, real strength isn’t in being loud, it’s in being steady. Paul’s saying, stop being thirsty for the spotlight, stop running your mouth in other people’s affairs, and stop leaning on folks when you could be putting in your own work. Truth is, mooching off others while you got the ability to grind is lazy, and laziness is sin. God gave you gifts, skills, and breath in your lungs so use them. Don’t be that person always asking but never giving, always watching b...

Daily Devotional - September 10, 2025

9/10/25 Good morning, Friends, Psalm 69:1 LSB [1] Save me, O God, For the waters have threatened my life. Have you ever felt like life was drowning you? Like problems kept piling up 📈, bills, stress, health, relationships, and no matter how hard you tried, you just couldn’t keep your head above water? That’s exactly how David felt when he wrote ✍🏾 this verse. He wasn’t talking about actual water 🌊, he was describing the feeling of being overwhelmed and sinking fast. Instead of trying to fight 🥊 through it on his own, David cried out to God: “Save me, O God.” That’s the turning point. When we reach the end of ourselves, God is still strong enough to lift us up. Let's keep it 💯 with God. You don’t have to fake it with Him. If you’re struggling, tell Him straight up. He can handle your honest prayers. Depend on Him!! You don’t have to do life alone or in your own strength. God is able to rescue, comfort, and steady you when you feel like you’re going under. If you fee...

Daily Devotional - August 18, 2025

  8/18/25 Good morning, Friends,  Matthew 3:1-2 -[1]Now in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, [2]“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” John the Baptist didn’t show up in a three-piece suit with politically correct words. He came rough, raw, and real, and his message was simple: Repent. Not, “say you’re sorry.” Not, “promise to do better.” Repent. Here’s the difference: asking forgiveness is like telling God, “My bad, I messed up.” Repentance goes deeper—it’s a turning of the heart, mind, and direction. It’s when the Spirit of God flips the script in your soul, and you walk a whole new way. Forgiveness is like the judge stamping your record “cleared.” Repentance is like walking out of court and actually living different! It's proof that God’s the one changing you on the inside. Think of it like this: If I keep apologizing for stealing, but I’m still sliding wallets out of pockets tomorrow, nothing’s really changed. Repentan...
