Title: Honesty comes with a blessing!

-

He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. Proverbs 28:23

Devotion: Truth, even when spoken in love, can sometimes hurt. When you admonish your friend out of concern that they shouldn’t gossip or because they are acting immaturely, it may hurt and offend them. But that is better than praising them even when they are doing wrong because, in the end, when your friend comes to a turning point in life, they will realize that you are right and will bless you for correcting them.

Beloved, let us not be tempted to flatter people in order to please them. But in all our ways, may we be honest and truthful, even if it may hurt or offend people. Speaking the truth in love will give you more favor than trying to please others with a flattering tongue. That’s what the Bible says!

Prayer point: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your wisdom through Your Word. As I come to learn that speaking the truth in love, even though it may hurt, is better than flattering others, thank You for empowering me to walk in boldness and sincerity. As I yield to the Holy Spirit and Your Word, I don’t have to worry or be afraid of anything because in Your hand are favors and blessings in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
