Daily Devotional - December 4, 2025

 

12/4/25

Good morning, Friends, 

Matthew 11:28–30  - Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.’”

Jesus isn’t just talking to tired people who need a nap, He’s talking to people worn out on the inside. People tired of trying to fix themselves, tired of trying to be good enough, tired of carrying guilt, stress, and expectations. The religious leaders in Jesus’ day put a lot of rules and pressure on people, telling them to do better and try harder. But see, Jesus doesn’t add more weight, He invites us to drop the weight. And here’s the hardcore truth: we don’t find this rest by chasing Jesus; we only come because Jesus draws us first. He doesn’t say, “Go fix yourself and then come.” He says, “Come, and I’ll be your rest.”

When Jesus says, “Take my yoke,” He’s talking about letting Him lead your life, letting His teaching shape you, letting His strength carry you. A yoke usually means "work", but Jesus flips it. He does the heavy lifting, and we walk beside Him. He obeyed perfectly when we couldn’t. He carried our sin when we wouldn’t survive it. He gives the Holy Spirit to help us live what we can’t live on our own. His burden is light because He does the work that saves us and the work that changes us.

Check it out, today, stop trying to earn God’s love or prove your worth. Stop pretending you can carry what only Jesus can carry.

Friends, real rest isn’t found in running or being comfortable, it’s found in Christ Himself. He doesn’t crush the weak; He comforts them. You don’t need to show Him how strong you are. Just come. He already knows how much you’re carrying, and He’s strong enough to hold it for you.

You know what time ⏰ it is!!!

Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God Alone)

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...
