10/3/25

Good morning, Friends, 

Romans 15:13 - [13] - Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

Paul calls God “the God of hope” because real hope don’t come from your situation, your bank account, or people around you—it comes straight from Him. Catch this: God fills us with joy and peace as we believe. That means hope ain’t just crossing your fingers or telling yourself, “It’s gonna work out.” Nah, real hope is what shows up when you trust Christ. And it ain’t a tiny dose either. Paul says it overflows like a cup running over, because the Holy Spirit is the One filling you up.

Think about someone going through a tough time, maybe losing a job, health struggles, or family drama. From the outside, people expect them to fall apart. But instead, they carry a steady joy and calm peace, even when life doesn’t make sense. That’s not fake positivity, that’s hope powered by the Holy Spirit. It’s like an anchor ⚓️ that keeps them steady when the waves 🌊 are crashing.

What are you really leaning on for hope? If those things collapse, does your hope collapse too?

When you look at His resume, you understand that God doesn’t give hope in small doses. He pours it out so much that it can spill into the lives of people around you. When you trust Him, He gives peace in chaos and joy even in sorrow.

Faith gives hope something to work with! . It means surrendering control and letting the Holy Spirit remind you of God’s promises, even when your situation looks impossible. The challenge is this, are you letting God fill you daily, or are you running on empty by trying to do it yourself?

The God of hope doesn’t just want you to survive, He wants you to overflow with joy, peace, and hope in Christ, no matter what you face.

You know what time ⏰ it is!

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...
