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

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...

  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...
