Devotional Reading - February 13, 2026

 


2/13/26

Good morning, Beloved, 

Job 38:1-5 - [1] Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind: [2] “Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorant words? [3] Brace yourself like a man, because I have some questions for you, and you must answer them. [4] “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you know so much. [5] Who determined its dimensions and stretched out the surveying line?

After losing his children, his health, his wealth, and everything familiar, Book of Job reaches a turning point. Job has been questioning, grieving, and trying to understand why so much pain hit his life all at once. Then suddenly, God answers him, not with a soft baby whisper, but from a whirlwind. In other words, God shows up with power and authority.

God basically checks Job, 🗣️  “Who do you think you’re talking to? Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?” It sounds strong, but it’s not meant to crush Job,  it’s meant to remind him who is really in control.

Sometimes life hits like a storm ⛈️ you didn’t see coming. One phone call 📞  can change everything. One bad week can feel like your whole world is falling apart. And when that happens, it’s natural to ask, “God, what's really going on?” But if we look a lil deeper in this passage, we'll see something we tend to forget:

  • God is never confused, even when we are.
  • God is never late, even when it feels that way.
  • God has never lost control.

When God claps back at Job with  some hard questions it reveals something deep...that we are not God. We don’t see the full picture. We don’t know what He knows. Our understanding is limited, but His wisdom has no limits.

If we putting it all on the table, truth is, our pride makes us think we deserve explanations. But you see "faith" learns to trust even when explanations don’t come.

I aint gone hold you 💯 : You may not understand why certain doors closed…why some relationships fell apart…why the struggle seems longer than expected…

But the same God who set the boundaries of the ocean and hung the stars in place while it hangs on nothing, is fully capable of holding your life together.

This isn't just about God’s power, if we break it down further, we can see it's about His presence. God didn’t ignore Job. He came to him. When your life feels chaotic and in shambles, God is not far away. He steps into the storm.

The storm might be big, but we know that God is far bigger, now we just have to have faith and act on it!

Imma leave you with this, "peace doesn’t come from having all the answer, it comes from trusting the One who does"

If God can build the universe from nothing, you already know He can rebuild what's broken in your life.

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...
