Good morning, Friends, 

Proverbs 11:1 (LSB) - A deceptive balance is an abomination to Yahweh, But a just weight is His delight.

Proverbs is considered biblical wisdom literature. The book of Proverbs is filled with wise sayings that can help a person avoid the pitfalls of common everyday life. However, embedded in the book of Proverbs is a sharp contrast between "wisdom" and "foolishness". In this devotional verse, the text examines our business practices, but on a large scale, it examines our character. 

Some folks back in the day were slick with it—they had two sets of weights. One they used when buying things, which made the weight heavier so they could get more stuff for less money. Then when they sold things, they’d flip it and use lighter weights so people ended up paying more but getting less. Straight-up scammin’.

Friends, don't get it twisted, the same shady behavior is still going on today. it's not just in business either—you see it in school, in how people treat each other, in families, even in the church. Any time somebody playin’ people just to get ahead, that’s foul, and Yahweh ain’t cool with it. This is an abomination to Yahweh. 

Simple self-reflection can be the deepest self-reflection. Let's be honest in our dealings with others. Give others back their change? Don't nickel and dime each other? Stop over-charging when convenient? Be fair, be accurate, be honest!

If the shoe fits, laced it up and go on about your day! If it doesn't fit today, try it on tomorrow and see what happens, Cinderella!!!

Ya dig?!

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

Grace & Peace,

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...
