Family, I want to break down one of my favorite scripture verses in the Bible, which is the 19th Psalm of David. Specifically, verse 14. This verse calls us to be accountable for what we speak and what we meditate on in our hearts and minds and for our thoughts to be pleasing to God.
Scripture of the Day
Psalm 19:14 New International Version 14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.
Let Us Pray
Spirit of the Living God, thank you for calling us closer to you. Thank you for helping us to be aware of what we say, see, and do as our actions can draw us closer or pull us further away from you. May we always keep your joy as our highest goal. In Jesus’ name, we do pray.
And we let it be…And so it is
Amen, Amen, and Amen

Family, my words are very brief this evening. All I want you to hear is to be ready for the whisper. God is not always the loudest voice you hear. Condition your spirit to be still until you know it is the Lord.
Scripture Passage of the Day
1 Kings 19:11-13 New International Version
11 The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
Let Us Pray
Spirit of the Living God, thank you for tuning our hearts to yours. May we patiently wait for a word from you. May we never confuse volume with your presence. We wait for the true and Living God. In Jesus name we pray.
Family, I was thinking about covenants this evening and their importance. Not only what covenants symbolize, but also who can take part.
A covenant is a binding spiritual promise with the sole purpose of bringing the parties involved closer together. In the Old Testament, covenants were made through blood sacrifice of animals.
In the New Testament, the ultimate and final Love Covenant was made with the death, burial, and victorious resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Scripture Passages of the Day
Luke 22:20 New International Version 20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.[a]
Revelation 5:6-14 New International Version
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits[a] of God sent out into all the earth. 7 He went and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne. 8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:
“You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. 10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign[b] on the earth.”
11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. 12 In a loud voice they were saying:
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!”
13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”
14 The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
Let Us Pray
Spirit of the Living God, thank you for reminding us that we have someone who gave the ultimate sacrifice of love. May we never forget the covenant we share by accepting Jesus Christ as the lover of our soul. May we always remember that Jesus loved us first. It is our holy response to live our life’s as a love letter back to Him. It is in Jesus sweet name that I do pray.
And we let it be…And so it is
Amen, Amen, and Amen

Worthy Of It All” was originally streamed online July 25th at 7pm ET as a special worship night event by Times Square Church.
Family, in talking to God, we have to sometimes be careful what we ask for because God knows what we need even before we ask. If God knows that there are parts of us that need to be broken away, if we are in tune with God’s voice, we have a way of praying for God’s will to be done.
If our heart’s desire is to be more like our Wayshower Jesus, then we have to have the posture of being crucified from anything that would separate us from God. Once we say, “God have your way,” then that is when God starts chipping away.
Scripture Passage of the Day
Luke 9:23 English Standard Version Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus 23 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
Let Us Pray
Spirit of the Living God, thank you for making us more like Jesus every day. May we always have the posture of worship in our hearts and minds. Continue to drawer us closer to you so that God will get the glory from our lives. In Jesus’ name, we pray.
Family, one of the greatest joys I have is crossing paths with a person that I do not know and then we both feel something as we either look at each other, or pass by each other (what I call my spidy senses). In that moment, I can tell that we both love the Lord. It is always confirmed by a word, phrase, handshake, or hug 🤝.
I have never been ashamed of my faith, and I never will be. Jesus has been so good to me, and there are not enough days in the year for me to tell everyone about God’s goodness and grace in my life.
Scripture Passage of the Day
Romans 1:16-17 New International Version
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,[a] just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”[b]
Let Us Pray
Spirit of the Living God, thank you for dwelling with those who believe so that we will always know that we are never alone. Even if we don’t speak the language, we can always tell when we cross paths with another believer. May we never be ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for in it there we will find liberty. In Jesus’ name, we pray.
And we let it be…And so it is…
Amen, Amen, and Amen

Family, I had so many good intentions in 2025. God and I had several conversations where I was given clear instructions on what to do. Unfortunately, I was not as successful in doing everything that God asked me to do. Has that ever happened to you? You intended to do so many things, but something else took its place.
Well, there are consequences and outcomes to every choice we make. Around the fall of last year, I kept asking myself why I was struggling so hard in different areas. The Holy Spirit reminded me of the things God asked me to do. I realized that if I had simply done those things when God asked me to that I would not be struggling as much. So when the Lord told me in October of last year to write a devotional message every day, this year, I immediately said YES!
Family, I have testimony after testimony of all of the blessings, favor, and open doors that have happened just because I chose to obey.
Scripture Passage of the Day
1 Samuel 15:22 New International Version
22 But Samuel replied:
“Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
Let Us Pray
Spirit of the Living God, thank you for continuing to dwell with us daily. Thank you for bringing the Word of God alive so that we know how to apply God’s word in 2026. Thank you for showing and teaching me that no matter what year or time period it is, obedience is still better than sacrifice in the Lord’s eyes. May we continue to hunger and thirst for more of you, Lord. In the name of Jesus, we do pray.
Family, to some people, the word “consistency” is a pretty tough word. Consistency means doing what you say you are going to do. It means being accountable and trustworthy.
Family, has there been a time when someone has let you down and did not keep a promise? How did it make you feel? Was it hard to trust the person or persons the next time a promise was made?
Do you know who is the best promise keeper? Yep, Jesus. Jesus made a promise never to leave us or forsake us. Even when Jesus had to leave this earthly realm, he made another promise to send the Comforter or Advocate in his place. Let’s see what the Bible says about it.
Scripture Passage of the Day
John 16:7-15 New InternationalVersion 7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin, because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
Let Us Pray
Spirit of the Living God, thank you for continually being a Comforter and an Advocate. You have been so faith in keeping the promise Jesus made so many years ago. May we always be sensitive to your voice and whispers, as you lead us in the way of truth through Jesus Christ. It is in Jesus name that we lift this prayer.
And we let it be…And so it is
In the name of God, The Father; God, The Son; and God, The Holy Spirit.
Amen, Amen, and Amen

One of the things I treasure more than anything is God’s Peace. The peace of the Lord leads and guides me in everything I do. It is the Lord’s Peace that gives me comfort no matter what battle I may be facing. How does God’s peace show up in your life?
Scripture Passage of the Day
John 14:27 New International Version
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Let Us Pray
Spirit of the Living God, thank you for always dwelling with us. Thank you for your peace that passes all understanding. Your peace is as important as the air I breathe. May we always be able to rest and abide continually in your peace.
Family, I was thinking about how blessed we are to be able to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
I think about Mary, who washed Jesus’ feet with her hair. She truly understood the beauty of having a relationship with Jesus.
I also think about the woman with the issue of blood, who pressed her way through the crowd just to touch the hem of his garment.
Those women just wanted to be where Jesus was in that moment because they understood the magnitude of who Jesus was and who Jesus is eternally.
Scripture Passage of the Day
Jeremiah 29:11-13 New International Version
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Let Us Pray
Spirit of the Living God, may we never tire of seeking your presence, Lord. We just want to be where you are. Use our lives for your glory. May we always have the desire to run after you and worship you with all we are and with all you have blessed us with, Lord. Is there anything blocking us from worshipping you with ALL of our being? Show us, Lord?
And we let it be…And so it is
Amen, Amen, and Amen

Family, I was thinking about what it means to be approved. My husband and I are in the process of deciding if we are going to build our next house. When thinking about a large purchase like a home, there are typically several qualifications that have to be met in order for one to be approved and move forward with the process.
Thinking of approvals and qualifications made me think of the second letter written to Timothy in the New Testament:
Scripture Passage of the Day
2 Timothy 2:15 New International Version
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
Let Us Pray
Spirit of the Living God, thank you for all the ways you lead and guide us every day. Thank you for instilling in us the desire to show ourselves approved so that when it’s time for us to step forward, we will be ready to give an account and stand approved by God, through the finished work of the cross and perfecting of our faith.
And we let it be…And so it is…
Amen, Amen, and Amen
