Have a nice day! 🙂

Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
– Galatians 5:4-6

“Grace Over Performance“

Paul isn’t scolding, he’s warning. Anytime we start trying to earn what God has already given, grace loses its effect in our daily lives. Not because God withdraws it, but because we stop receiving it. The moment we lean on our own performance, we step out of the freedom Christ purchased and slip back into the pressure of proving ourselves. But the Spirit leads us differently. He teaches us to wait with hope, not strive with fear. He reminds us that righteousness isn’t achieved, it’s received. And in Jesus, the old categories that once defined people, circumcised or uncircumcised, insider or outsider, no longer carry weight. What matters now is faith, and real faith always expresses itself through love. Grace frees us to stop performing and start loving. It frees us to stop striving and start trusting. It frees us to live from acceptance, not for it.

Father God, keep me anchored in Your grace. Guard my heart from slipping back into performance and pressure. Teach me to walk by the Spirit, to trust Your righteousness, and to let my faith be seen through love. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Matthew 5:14 — “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another.
– Romans 12:9-10

God doesn’t ask us to be neutral. He calls us to hate evil, not people, not struggles, but the things that destroy, deceive, and divide. And He calls us to cling to what is good, truth, mercy, justice, kindness, and love. In a world full of noise and confusion, we are invited to walk differently: With compassion, not competition. With brotherly and sisterly love, not rivalry. With honor, not ego Let our hearts be soft toward one another and fierce against injustice. Let our hands be quick to help and slow to harm. Let our lives reflect the goodness we cling to.

Father God, I thank You and praise You that You teach me to hate what is evil without becoming bitter. Help me cling to what is good with courage and joy. Make me kind, compassionate, and devoted to others in love. Let my life honor You and bless those around me in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Have a nice day! 🙂

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
– Psalms 2:10-12

This is a strong and timely scripture. Psalm 2 always feels like God clearing His throat to the whole world, a reminder that power, authority, and leadership only stand firm when they bow to Him. These verses remind every leader, kings, judges, and all who hold influence, that true wisdom begins with honoring the Lord. Strength without surrender becomes dangerous. Authority without humility becomes unstable. But those who trust in Him find blessing, protection, and direction. “Kiss the Son” is an invitation to relationship, not fear, a call to honor Jesus, walk in reverence, and rejoice with a trembling that comes from awe, not terror. The promise still stands: Blessed are all who put their trust in Him. Not some. Not a few. All.

Father God, thank You and praise You for watching over me today. Guide my steps, calm my heart, and keep me close to You. Bless the people I meet, the words I speak, and the work I do. Let Your peace cover my mind and Your love lead my way. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus precious Name Amen.

“Secure In His Grip”

But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
– Mark 6:4

verse carries such weight, especially for those who serve, teach, or minister close to home. Jesus knew what it felt like to be misunderstood by the very people who watched Him grow up. And yet, He kept walking in truth, even when honor didn’t follow.

It’s a reminder that rejection doesn’t mean failure. Sometimes the hardest soil is the one closest to our roots. But even there, God is working. We have a beautiful way of sharing Scripture that speaks to real life. Because the Bible has always spoken of life. The Bible doesn’t just speak about life; it speaks into life. Into grief. Into joy. Into parenting, marriage, caregiving, and community. It’s not a distant book. It’s the living Word. I know many people in ministry that speak truth beautifully. They don’t just quote scripture they apply it. They show how verses like 1 Peter 5:10 or Mark 6:4 aren’t just ancient truths, they’re today’s comfort, today’s challenge, today’s healing.“We have a beautiful way of sharing Scripture that speaks to real life, because the Bible has always spoken of life. It speaks to the man, woman, mother, the worker, the widow, the child. It speaks to the tired, the joyful, the grieving, the hopeful. And it never stops speaking.” I remember my pastor of First Baptist Church of Haverhill, Mass. When I was real young and he did the tip the cup of milk over and he did not spill it. The milk stayed in the glass as God holds us just like that glass of milk.

A pastor turning a glass of milk upside down, yet nothing spills, symbolizing how Jesus holds us securely even when life feels upside down.

Father God, thank You and praise You for this day. Thank You for breath, for grace, and for the quiet ways You care for me. Help me walk in kindness, speak with wisdom, and rest in Your peace. Cover my family and friends. Guide my steps. Remind me that You are near, always in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
– 1 Corinthians 13:7-8

This passage always feels like a deep breath for the soul. Wordproject shares Scripture the way some people share sunlight, and these verses carry so much steadying truth.

Love that bears, believes, hopes, and endures isn’t fragile or sentimental, it’s strong, resilient, and rooted in God’s character. When everything else fades, love remains. That’s the kind of love we need to pour into people, even on the days it costs us something. Wishing you a peaceful warm, care full heart with that unfailing love, joy and blessings today.

God doesn’t deny that we face “great and sore troubles.” He acknowledges them, and then promises resurrection, renewal, and comfort on every side. The same God who allowed you to walk through the valley is the God who lifts you out of it, strengthens you again, and surrounds you with His presence.
It’s a verse for anyone who has been pressed low but is rising again by His hand.
Wishing you a day filled with that quiet, steady comfort David was talking about.

Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth. Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
– Psalms 71:20-21

Even when life has pressed us low, God is not finished. The same God who allowed the struggle is the God who lifts, restores, strengthens, and surrounds us with comfort. Trouble may shape us, but it does not define us, His revival does. Truly, may your day be filled with the kind of quiet comfort David was talking about.

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
– Romans 8:22-23

There are seasons when the weight of life feels too heavy to name.
Paul reminds us that this groaning, this deep, inward ache, is not a sign of weakness. It is the sound of creation itself longing for God’s restoration. We feel it in our bodies. We feel it in our families. We feel it in the brokenness of the world around us. Even with the Spirit living inside us, we still wait, we still ache, we still long for the day when God makes all things new. This groaning is not hopeless.
It is the labor pain of redemption. It is the reminder that we belong to a Kingdom not yet fully revealed. And it is the promise that God hears every sigh, every tear, every unspoken prayer. If you are groaning today, you are not alone. All creation groans with you, and God is moving toward you with comfort, strength, and the hope of full redemption.

May His peace steady your heart today. Have a blessed day. 🙂

For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. – Colossians 1:19-20

Colossians 1:19–20 reminds us that Christ sustains everything, both order and chaos. Nothing is hidden or beyond His power; He reconciles all things with justice and goodness. We are encouraged to trust Him, knowing He brings true peace that does not depend on others but comes only through Him. This passage encourages faithfulness, noting that Christ possesses complete wisdom and justice, and provides true peace. He reconciles, restores, and brings clarity and order amid chaos.

May you feel the steadiness of Christ’s fullness. May you rest in the truth that nothing is outside His reach. May you walk today knowing that He is already reconciling what you cannot fix on your own. Have a peaceful day,

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
– Hosea 4:6

Hosea 4:6 says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge,” but I look around today and I see something different. God has raised up so many good teaching pastors, preachers, and leaders who make the Word clear and practical. I’ve watched people grow in understanding over the years, and it’s something to be proud of. Some have come farther than they ever imagined. But we still have families who hold back. Some won’t take their children to church because of tithing. Some stay home because a spouse doesn’t want to go. Some simply don’t see the value of training their families in the things of God. And that breaks my heart, because our homes need spiritual guidance just as much as they need food and shelter. I’ve lived this myself. My husband didn’t go to church at first. But through steady love, conversation, and prayer, his heart softened. Now he’s been going with me for 17 years. So yes, change is possible. Growth is possible. God can move in any home. We’re not people destroyed for lack of knowledge. We’re people who are learning, growing, and becoming stronger. Let’s keep leading our families with love and truth so the next generation can go even farther.

Father God, thank You and praise You for the teachers, pastors, and leaders who help us grow in Your Word. Thank You for the families who are learning, changing, and coming farther than they ever thought they could know Jesus is our all and all. Help us keep leading our homes with love and truth. Give us patience, wisdom, and steady hearts as we guide our children and encourage our spouses. Let Your knowledge take root in every household and let Your peace fill every room. Love You, thank You in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
