Good morning, Friends, 

Proverbs 20:6 LSB
[6] Many a man will call out his own lovingkindness, But a faithful man, who can find?

Have you ever noticed how easy it is for people to talk a big game? A lot of folks will claim they’re loyal, trustworthy, and always there when you need them. But when life gets real and the pressure is on, those same people can be hard to find. Words are cheap, but following through takes "character".

This verse reminds us that true, reliable friends are rare. Not everyone who says they’ve got your back actually shows up when it counts. And if we’re keeping it a buck , we’ve probably had moments when we’ve fell short of loyalty or made ourselves look better than we were. Proverbs is often called a book of wisdom because it's full of truths like this. It helps us look in the mirror and check our own hearts, not just point fingers at others.

So today, instead of just talking about being reliable, let’s aim to be reliable. Let’s be the kind of friend, spouse, sibling, or co-worker who shows up when it matters, keeps their word, and doesn’t need to exaggerate their story. Because in a world full of talkers, being someone who actually lives out what they say speaks louder than words ever could. Let's follow through—not just in  words, but in actions. 

Lord teach us to be a faithful, trustworthy friend who reflects Your truth and love 🙌🏾

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

- Grace & Peace

  1. I love it! Can you show up for me when I actually need you and not just when it's just convenient for you. (Rhetorical question) The WORD is so good it literally touches on every part of life.

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...

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...
