Devotional Reading - February 9, 2026

2/9/26

Good morning, Friends,

Psalms 94:19 - When my anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations delight my soul.

There is an honesty in this verse that many of us try to avoid. The psalmist does not pretend that faith eliminates anxiety. He admits it multiplies. Not occasionally. Not a lil bit. Anxiety grows, stacks, and presses in from every side. This is the reality of living in a broken world while carrying real responsibilities, real disappointments, and real uncertainty.
But notice the tension: anxiety multiplies, but so does God’s comfort.

Sometimes people get it twisted thinking that spiritual maturity means that we are emotionally calm at all times. False! That couldn't be further from the truth. Mature faith is not the absence of inner chaos; it is the decision of where you turn when chaos flares up. 

What I love about this passage is that the psalmist does not numb his anxiety, deny it, or allow it to rule him. He brings it into the presence of God and discovers something dope: God’s comfort doesn’t just soothe the mind, it delights the soul 🔥. Now this word “delight” matters because it shows that God doesn’t comfort you like someone doing a chore they don’t want to do. He isn’t distant or emotionless, giving you quick, empty words just to calm you down.

God’s comfort is authentic and personal, not fake or phony, not distant, and not out of reach. It’s like Him pulling up right beside you so you know you don’t have to handle life by yourself. Even when everything around you feels loud, stressful, and out of control, His presence can give you a deep-down peace that doesn’t make sense to other people.

When your mind is going a mile a minute and your emotions feel all over the place, God knows how to settle you. He helps you pause, catch your breath, and stand up strong 💪🏾 again instead of feeling like life is about to knock you over.

 Unfortunately, a lot of us when we feel anxious tend to reach for control, distraction, overworking, or even isolation. But yo, check ✔️ yo-self because anxiety was never meant to be managed alone.

The next time you feel anxiety rising up, pause before reacting. Whisper a simple prayer: “God, let Your comfort meet me here.” Then sit for a moment and allow His presence to speak louder than your fears.

Friends, anxiety may multiply, but God’s comfort is never outnumbered, BELIEVE THAT 💯

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...

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...
