Daily Devotional - November 13, 2025


11/13/25

Good morning, Beloved of God, 

1 Peter 2:15–16 (LSB) — [15] For such is the will of God that by doing good you may silence the ignorance of foolish men. [16] Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as slaves of God.”

God’s will isn’t confusing, He wants us to live in a way that shuts down the world’s negativity without us even having to say a word. You don’t have to clap back or prove your faith to everybody watching; just live right. When people see how you carry yourself with integrity, love, and consistency, it speaks louder than any argument ever could.

Peter reminds us that we’re free, but not free to do whatever we want. We’re free from sin so we can serve God with clean hearts. Understand that real freedom isn’t living wild and reckless, it’s the power to say no to what’s wrong and yes to what’s right. Some people use grace as an excuse to do whatever they want, but true believers use grace as motivation to live like Jesus.

For example, if someone at work keeps trying to push your buttons, lying on you, talking behind your back, or trying to make you look bad. The easy thing would be to give them the same energy or get even. But instead, you stay calm, stay honest, and keep doing your job with excellence. Over time, your character exposes their lies better than any argument could. That’s what it looks like to “silence ignorance by doing good.”

You don’t have to fight every battle, just be faithful. God’s watching, and He honors quiet obedience more than people trying to loudly defend themselves. 

Bottom line, Friends, freedom in Christ doesn’t mean you do what you want, it means you’re finally free to live how God wants.

Use your freedom to love deeper, serve harder, and stand taller in your faith. Let your life make people wonder, “What’s different about them?”

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...
