9/1/25  

Good morning, Friends, 

Ecclesiastes 2:24-25 -[24] There is nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and have his soul see good in his labor. This also I have seen that it is from the hand of God. [25] For who can eat and who can have enjoyment outside of Him?

Happy Labor Day!

Work is something we all know about. Some of us love what we do, others just do it because the bills don’t stop coming. Some of us work with our hands, some with our minds, some with our hearts. And sometimes it feels like no matter how hard we work, it’s never enough.

That’s exactly what Solomon is talking about. He’s saying, “Look, without God, life is just empty work.” You can make money, build houses, stack up success but if God’s not in it, it won’t satisfy you. But when you see your job, your paycheck, your food, your rest as a "gift straight from God’s hand" that changes everything.
  • God gives you the strength 💪🏾to get up in the morning and do what you do.
  • God puts food 🥗on your table and breath 🫁 in your lungs.
  • God gives you the ability to enjoy 🙌🏾what you worked for.
Think about this: Two people can sit down at the "same" table with the "same" meal 🍽️. One just scarfs it down, already stressed about tomorrow. The other bows their head, thanks 🙏🏾God, and actually enjoys the moment. The difference isn’t the food, it’s God’s hand in it.

So this Labor Day, take a step back. Rest. Enjoy what God has given you. Stop and taste the blessing in the simple things: the food you eat, the roof over your head, the breath in your body, the people around you. That’s not just your hustle, that’s God’s goodness.

Don’t let work run you. Don’t chase joy in the paycheck. Find joy in the God who gave you the ability to work in the first place. Without Him, you’ll always feel empty. With Him, even the small things bring peace.

Check ✅ it : Work hard, rest well, enjoy what God’s given, and remember—it’s all from His hand.

You already know what time ⌚ it is! Tap👊🏾 in!

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...
