Title: Commitment to God, Relationships, and Work.

-

Scripture Reading:  
- “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act.” — Psalm 37:5  
- “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” — Colossians 3:23  
- “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” — 1 Peter 4:8  

Reflection
Commitment is the glue that holds our spiritual, relational, and professional lives together.  
- Commitment to God: Our first and highest devotion is to the Lord. When we surrender our plans to Him, He directs our steps and gives us strength to remain faithful (Proverbs 16:3). True commitment to God means daily obedience and trust, even when the path is uncertain.  
- Commitment in Relationships: God calls us to love deeply and faithfully. Commitment in relationships is not about perfection but about consistency—choosing to forgive, to serve, and to honor one another. Just as Christ’s love is unwavering, our relationships should reflect steadfastness and grace.  
- Commitment in Work: Work is not just a duty; it is worship when done with the right heart. Paul reminds us to work “as unto the Lord,” meaning our diligence and integrity should reflect our faith. Commitment in work means showing excellence, perseverance, and honesty, knowing that God sees and rewards our labor.  
Application: - Begin each day by committing your plans to God.  
- Show loyalty and love in your relationships, even when it’s challenging.  
- Approach your work with integrity and diligence, remembering you serve Christ through it.  
Prayer: Lord, help me to remain committed to You above all else. Teach me to love faithfully in my relationships and to work with excellence as unto You. May my life reflect steadfast devotion in every area. Amen.

Title: Divine Acceleration.

-
Genesis 41:40-41  Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. Devotion: Have you ever felt like your dreams are taking too long to come true? Like you're walking a slow path while others seem to be racing ahead? Take heart—God is a God of acceleration! When He steps in, He can take you from waiting to walking in His promises in an instant.   Consider the story of Joseph. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit—it seemed like his dreams were slipping further away. But when God's appointed time arrived, Joseph was promoted from the prison to the palace in a single day! (Genesis 41:14-41). Years of waiting, hardship, and ...

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 ...
