Good morning, Friends, 

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 NLT
[3] All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. [4] He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us. 

Many of our comrades are experiencing tough times. Some are carrying heavy burdens, and others are experiencing various avenues of hardship. As the Apostle thoughtfully shares his understanding of the human need, he masterfully communicates this truth, "God comforts us. We comfort one another." 

Comforting one another begins with the appreciation of the comfort extended to us by God. The result of God's comfort isn't blanketed with providing the answers to all of our prayers. In a deeper display of true comfort, God embraces us with his presence, his love, his understanding, his companionship, and his will. To the person who overlooks these precious moments, they fall into emotional turmoil, but for the one who embraces the comfort of God, they are graced by God to pay it forward. Impacting lives for the Kingdom of God, by the power of God, to the glory of God, in the presence of God. 

Do you know someone who is going through a tough time? Someone who needs words of encouragement or prayer? Or maybe someone is just having a rough week, overwhelmed with the complexities of life.

Life is saturated with ebbs and flows, ups and downs, highs and lows, ins and outs, but the Christian life has a sustaining factor that completely changes the playing field. We have the Comforter,  the Holy Spirit, who enables us to find purpose and meaning through obstacles all to the glory of God. Sharing this with others in the time of need is essential to mending hearts hanging on by a thread. 

Glorify God by being someone's comfort today! 

Get your tool belt, tool chest, hard hat, and equipment, ITS TIME TO GET TO WORK!!!!

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

- Grace & Peace

    Amen! We also need to be open to receive the comfort that others are offering. We sometimes block our own blessings (help) because pride gets in the way of us asking or just being open to receive what is being offered.

Devotional Reading - December 16, 2025

12/16/25 Good morning, Friends,  Acts 4:12 - [12] And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. BOLDNESS! In the chapter before this, Peter heals a man who had been disabled his whole life. The crowd is amazed. Everyone’s staring at Peter and John like they’re the heroes. But Peter shuts all that down immediately. He tells them straight up: “This wasn’t us. This was God working through Jesus Christ.” Peter refuses the spotlight and points all the credit where it belongs. That’s the same bold truth behind this verse, Jesus Christ alone saves. No exceptions. No substitutes. No backup plans. Peter is standing in front of religious leaders who believed they were right with God because of rules, traditions, and family history. And Peter doesn’t sugarcoat it. He tells them clearly: none of that saves you. Not religion. Not good behavior. Not being sincere. Not choosing another spiritual lane. Only J...

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...
