Devotional Reading - January 22, 2026

 

1/22/26

Good morning, Beloved, 

Proverbs 16:7 -When a man’s ways are pleasing to Yahweh, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

This verse doesn’t mean that if you follow God, everyone will suddenly like you or that conflict will disappear from your life. The Bible is keeps it 💯 , living for God can actually create opposition. But here, this proverb is teaching is something deeper: when a person lives in a way that honors God, through obedience, humility, and righteousness, God has the power to step into tense situations and bring peace where there should have been conflict.

In simple terms, when your life lines up with God’s will, He can work on both sides of the situation. God can soften hearts, calm anger, and change outcomes in ways you couldn’t do on your own. Sometimes that peace comes quick, but other times it’s a slow process. Either way, the peace doesn’t come from us fixing things, it comes from God stepping in.

This is a promise of God’s favor, not a guarantee that you’ll never have enemies. It doesn’t mean people won’t oppose you or misunderstand you. It means that hostility doesn’t get the final word. God can disarm bitterness, redirect intentions, and definitely turn adversaries into allies if He chooses. You don’t have to fight every battle yourself.

So, are you more focused on defending yourself or on pleasing God? Are there relationships where you’re tempted to force peace instead of trusting God to work?

When you walk right with God, you can rest knowing that God is able to handle your conflicts better than you ever could. Check ✅ it out, your job is obedience. God’s job is the outcome. 

Remember Friends, sometimes the greatest victory isn’t winning an argument, it’s watching God bring peace where there once was hostility.

You know what time ⏰ it is!! 
Vroom 🏎️ 💨 , Vroom 🏎️  💨 , let's get it!!! 👊🏾💪🏾

Maranatha (The Lord is coming)  
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...
