Daily Devotional - July 28, 2025


7/28/25

Good morning, Friends, 

Psalm 7:1 -O Yahweh my God, in You I have taken refuge;
Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

David’s not talking about just any god, he’s calling out Yahweh, the personal, covenant-keeping God of Israel. This isn't a general prayer to the universe. Nope! David is saying, “God, you know me. We got history.” David comes out the gate speaking as someone who has a personal relationship with God. "Yahweh, you're not just God, you’re my God."

Refuge means a safe place to run to, like a hiding spot when things get dangerous. David ain’t running to his "status", his "squad", his "mama them", or his weapons. He’s saying: “I ran straight to You, God. You’re where I hide when situations get sticky and there's so much on the line.” This is deep trust. It shows that faith isn’t just belief—it’s action. It’s like saying: “I trust you enough to run to you first, not last.”

David is literally being chased. Enemies want him dead. Let's first get this out of  the way, "we are NOT David". However, we can resonate with certain things David experienced.  We might not have literal enemies chasing us with swords, but we might have people praying on your downfall, drama chasing you day and night, your own past trying to catch up and trap you. David is saying, "Yahweh, I got people, things and problems on my neck. I'm calling  out to you to deliver me.”

If you're in trouble, run to God.
If you're in peace, run to God.
If you're in grief, run to God. 
If you're anxious, run to God. 
If you've sinned, run to God. 

Don't let anything separate you from running to God!!!! He will sort "it" and "you" out!

BELIEVE THAT!

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...

Devotional Reading - January 1, 2026

  01/01/26 Happy new year and O' happy day! Good morning, Friends,  Luke 17:5 - And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith! In this passage Jesus was teaching His disciples about forgiveness, not the easy kind, but the kind that keeps forgiving even when it’s hard, frustrating, and painful. He was calling them to be patient and long-suffering with people who mess up again and again. The disciples realized real quick that they didn't have enough faith to carry this out on their own. They could've complained, threw a tantrum, got an attitude with Jesus, but the radical part about it is they didn't act fake or make excuses. They went straight to Jesus and said, “Increase our faith.” That’s a powerful moment right there! The disciples understood that following Jesus isn’t just about trying harder. Sometimes it’s about admitting, “Lord, I don’t have what this requires.” They saw a spiritual gap in themselves and knew only Jesus could fill it. Check it out, incr...

Daily Devotional - December 5, 2025

  12/5/25 Good morning, Friends,  Hebrews 11:13-16 -13 [13] All these people died still believing what God had promised them. They did not receive what was promised, but they saw it all from a distance and welcomed it. They agreed that they were foreigners and nomads here on earth. [14] Obviously people who say such things are looking forward to a country they can call their own. [15] If they had longed for the country they came from, they could have gone back. [16] But they were looking for a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. These verses talk about people in the Bible who trusted God but never got to see all His promises come true while they were alive. Abraham didn’t see the whole nation God promised. Moses never stepped foot in the Promised Land. They believed, even when they didn’t get the results they hoped for. That’s real faith, trusting God not because life works out, but be...
