Devotional Reading - December 22, 2025




12/22/25

Good morning, Friends, 

Psalm 96:6 - Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

Think about a moment when you’ve been truly amazed, standing at the edge of the ocean, looking up at a sky full of stars, or seeing the top of a huge mountain  for the first time. For a brief moment, everything else fades away. You feel small, quiet, and aware that you’re standing in front of something far bigger than you. That feeling of awe doesn’t scare you, it humbles you and steadies you.

Psalm 96:6 is meant to create that same kind of awe toward God. Like understand that God is far greater and more amazing than we even realize. When the verse says, “Splendor and majesty are before Him,” it means God is always surrounded by greatness and glory. He doesn’t need to prove Himself or impress anybody, He is already beyond comparison. This reminds us that God isn’t just someone we turn to when we’re in trouble; He is the King over everything and deserves our reverence.

The verse also says, “Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary,” which means God is both powerful and good at the same time. He has the strength to handle anything we face, and the beauty to be trusted and loved. Like the ocean or the stars, God’s power makes us feel small, but not unsafe. The power of God actually bring us to trust Him more on a deeper level.

So Friends, check it out, this means we don’t have to carry life on our own. The same strong and amazing God that moves with excellence, splendor, majesty, glory and power is with us in every moment, whether  at work, dealing with family stress, and even in the loneliness of our personal struggles. When we truly stand in awe of who God is, it helps calm our fears, settle down, check our pride, and strengthen our trust in Him. These are the times we remember that the One who holds all splendor, strength, and beauty is the same God who walks with every born again believer, every day.

So, buckle up!

You know what time ⏰ it is!!!

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...

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...
