Tuesday, October 6th, 2026 Psalm 9:7-9 “The Lord reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment. He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity. The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.” Heavenly Father, Thank You for the reminder that no matter how much this world changes, You don't. You reign forever. You are righteous, You are just, and You are a safe place when life gets hard. Lord, when we feel overwhelmed, afraid, worn down, or just plain tired of dealing with everything, remind us where to run. Not to worry. Not to fear. Not to everything else first. To You. Be our refuge today. Give strength to those who are struggling and comfort to those carrying more than anyone realizes. Help us trust that when everything around us feels shaky, You are still steady. In Jesus' name, Amen. Brothers and Sisters, I love the word “refuge” in this Scripture. A refuge isn't just somewhere you visit when life is easy. It's where you run when the storm hits. And God says, “Come to Me.” Whatever Tuesday brings, remember where your safe place is. Stay anchored in Christ brothers and sisters. I love you but not near as much as Jesus does.

Tuesday, September 29, 2026 🌻🙏🦋 Psalm 7:17 NIV “I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High.” Heavenly Father, Thank You, Jesus, for another day. Before we start worrying about what needs to be done, what might go wrong, or what somebody else is doing, we just want to stop and say thank You. Thank You for waking us up. Thank You for the people we love. Thank You for the prayers You've answered and even the ones we're still waiting on. Thank You for staying with us through days when our faith felt strong and those days when, Lord, we were hanging on by a thread. Today we choose to praise You because of who You are. You are good when life is good, and You're still good when life makes absolutely no sense. Help us notice the blessings we normally rush right past. A safe drive. A phone call from somebody we love. Food on the table. A laugh we weren't expecting. Five minutes of peace and quiet. Lord, sometimes the little things really aren't little at all. And when something tries to steal our joy today, remind us that we still have a reason to praise You. In Jesus’ most holy and exalted name I pray, amen. 🙏💛🦋 Brothers and Sisters, I think sometimes we're waiting for something BIG to happen before we stop and thank God. The prayer gets answered. The money finally comes through. The situation gets fixed. THEN we'll celebrate. But what about right now? Psalm 7 hasn't exactly been a lighthearted chapter. David has talked about enemies, injustice, judgment, fear, and people coming against him. Then he gets to verse 17 and says, basically, “I'm still going to thank God.” I love that. Not because everything suddenly became perfect. Not because every problem disappeared overnight. He still had a reason to praise God. And so do we. Maybe today isn't perfect. Mine probably won't be either. 😂 But if we're breathing, God has given us another day. Another chance to love somebody. Another chance to laugh. Another chance to pray. Another chance to notice something beautiful instead of rushing right past it.

Hey everyone! I'm Tommy, really happy to be here! I've always believed that storytelling is one of the most powerful things a human being can do. There's something special about a story that stays with you long after you've finished reading it. I work on the creative and visual side of books, helping authors bring their stories to life beyond the page. But I'm here to learn, connect and soak up everything this community has to offer. Looking forward to reading everyone's work on the writing board! 😊
