Humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord, and HE will lift us Up!
Thank you Father, for adopting me, into the family, through the sacrifice and resurrection of your son, Jesus Christ. 💕
Lord, may we as men, be continually reminded of this, that you would help us draw close to you, and our wives, that we might be a light in this world, to point people to you. 🙏
HE Never Stops Working!
It’s never too late to turn around and seek God’s guidance. Every morning, you’re offered fresh mercy and a chance to start anew. If yesterday was a setback, don’t let it discourage you. If you made selfish choices in the past, take responsibility and begin anew, seeking forgiveness. God’s embrace is unconditional and always available.
Are you thirsting for something more in this life? Has this world beat you down? Jesus doesn’t promise that everything will be perfect, but he says HE, can give you living water, that satisfies, both now and for all of eternity. He says though, that you must come to the well. LISTEN TO THE SONG BY CASTING CROWNS BELOW.
The Name of the Lord is, a High Tower, the Righteous run into it it, and they are Safe.
Father, remind us daily, that much has been forgiven of us, so we can see clearly those, we should also be forgiven.
Our homeless Ministry Worship Team was at Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, Ca, before I moved to Tennessee doing an unplugged session.

Another song my friend wrote, that if you’re are older, or have children who have older parents, it will touch your heart. ♥️
Lord, it’s not about us, it’s all about you. May what we do,not draw attention to us, but point them to Jesus. Our identity is not about what we do, but who JESUS is.
May Our Worship and Walk reflect the one We Worship…….
Taken from the Devotion: Formed by the Game, in the YouVersion Bible App.
Psalm 150 calls us to let “everything that has breath praise the Lord.” The energy, joy, and intentionality of cheering are not wasted—they are echoes of a greater reality. God designed us to cheer, to celebrate, and to lift our voices in unity. When directed toward Him, cheering becomes worship. Just as fans rally behind athletes, believers are called to cheer one another on in faith, encouraging perseverance, gratitude, and joy. Cheering at a game, clapping for effort, or shouting encouragement can be infused with spiritual meaning when we remember who ultimately deserves the praise.
Lord, may our praise and Worship, Lift you up, and lift up others as we walk through this life together. Jesus, gives us hope, may our lives reflect everyday, and when we fail, may we run to you in your forgiving arms.
Can I get an Amen!
For ALL people, emphasis added. Lord, help us to see clearly, through Jesus’s eyes.
“Lord, help me to hear Your voice above all others. Give me the wisdom and courage to follow Your guidance, trusting that You lead me in the way that brings life and glory to Your name. Amen.”
We are never too Old to Worship our King!
Victory through Failure and Defeat
Defeat is one of the hardest realities in sport. The scoreboard doesn’t lie. Athletes feel the sting of missed opportunities, coaches replay mistakes in their minds, parents ache for their children, and fans leave with a heavy heart. In those moments, the silence after the final whistle feels heavy. Loss exposes weaknesses, mistakes, and limits. It lingers in memory far longer than a win, often shaping the way we see ourselves and others.
But The Bible gives us a different lens for the pain of loss. Paul writes, “Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.” Defeat, while painful, can be a classroom where God teaches resilience, humility, and dependence on Him. Just as athletes review game film to learn from their mistakes, God uses our setbacks to refine our hearts. He teaches us to endure difficulty, to act with integrity even when things go wrong, and to anchor our hope not in the outcome of games but in His unshakable promises.
As a Jesus Christ follower, defeat is never wasted. It strips away perceptions of control and points us back to the only victory that truly lasts—Jesus’ triumph over sin and death. Loss humbles us, but it can also deepen our character and strengthen our faith. The scoreboard cannot measure perseverance, cannot record humility, and cannot quantify hope. Yet these are the qualities God values most.
Next time you face defeat—whether in a championship game, a missed opportunity, or a personal failure—treat it as a liturgical moment. Let it remind you that God is shaping something far greater than a record or trophy. Humility grows, perseverance strengthens, and hope rises in the soil of loss.
Prayer:
“Lord, help me embrace defeat with a humble and teachable heart. Turn my losses into lessons, strengthen my perseverance, and remind me that true hope is found in You, not in earthly victories. Amen.”
