Good morning 🌞, Friends, 

Proverbs 23:9 (NLT)- Don’t waste your breath on fools, for they will despise the wisest advice.

This proverb reminds us that not everyone is ready to receive truth, correction, or even help. The Word of God is saying: “Be wise about who you pour into. Some people aren’t looking for guidance, they’re looking to "argue.” This doesn’t mean we stop loving people or stop caring. It means we learn to discern when continuing to talk is no longer productive and when stepping back is the wiser, more peaceful choice. Wisdom isn’t just what we say, it’s knowing when to say it and when to let go.

Think of that friend, coworker, or family member who constantly asks for advice, but never actually wants to listen. They come to you with the same issue over and over, but the moment you offer wise guidance, they shut down, get offended, or twist your words. You walk away drained, frustrated, and wondering why you even tried again. This proverb is saying: It’s not your job to force wisdom on someone who doesn’t want it. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is step back, pray for them, and let life teach the lesson your words can’t 💯

Ask yourself, "where am I pouring energy into conversations that go nowhere? Am I trying to fix people instead of trusting God to work in their hearts?

Check it out, Friends, God gives us permission to walk in peace. It is not a failure to stop pushing advice, it is wisdom. And when we give our words to people who are ready to hear, God uses them powerfully.

You know what time ⏰ it is!!! 

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

- Grace & Peace

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...

  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...
