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.

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...

  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...

  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...
