Ray

By the time I walked in the house, Justin was again on my heels. “Ray, what the fuck was that? How long have you been sleeping with your boss?” he screamed.
“The same amount of time you’ve been sleeping with yours!” I countered.
He was stunned and couldn’t say a word. His eyes looked like a deer caught in headlights.
“What, uh, what the hell are you talking about, Ray?” He stuttered.
“Man, stop acting brand new. Oh, you thought I didn’t I know?” I smiled. “You didn’t think I would find out that you were having an affair with your boss, being fucked in the ass when you had a wife at home? Yea, I know. I’ve known boo!” I said walking over to the cabinet to get a glass for wine.
“How long have you known, Ray?” he asked almost whispering.
“Well, let’s see,” I said, facing him. “You’ve barely touched me in two years. You undress me and your dick doesn’t even get hard. I can walk past you naked and you don’t blink an eye. You—,”
“I get it! I get it, please stop,” he yelled.
“Why should I? Were you telling Travis to stop when he was banging his nuts against your ass? Were you telling him to stop so that you could be honest with your wife? Were you telling him to stop when you thought about how this would affect our children?”
“Ray, please! I’m sorry,” he cried. “I didn’t mean for this to happen, but you have no right to get in my ass when you’ve been cheating too.”
“Yea, you got that right, you are most definitely sorry! How could you not mean for this to happen? You had to bend over to take it, so how could you not? Boy, please, save that shit for someone who cares. You got one week to tell the kids and find somewhere to stay because I’ve already started the divorce.” I grabbed my keys to walk out. “And by the way, I’m not getting in your ass because apparently I’m not your type.”

Daily Devotional – 7/21/14 “Wait in God!”

I simply stopped by this morning to tell you this … You won’t ever find your way if you’ve yet to realize that God is the way. Don’t you know that all you have to do is wait in God? Please note, I didn’t say wait on God but I said wait in God (there is a difference). See, when you wait on God, you sit around with an idle mind until the blessings you’ve been praying for comes but when you wait in God, you still get up and find things to do because you asked with the faith that they’ll soon come. When you wait on God, it’s like you waiting on a ride so you keep peeking out the window to see if they’ve made it yet. Oh but when you wait in God, you’ll get up and start walking to meet them at the corner. When you wait on God, you allow the enemy to plant seeds of doubt in your mind because you’re sitting around worried. Oh but when you wait in God, you don’t have time to doubt because your faith and trust in the Master leaves no room for it. All you have to do is wait in God knowing that He is the only way to go.

I’ll sum this up with my interpretation of Psalm 37:1-11, “Baby, stop worrying over those who are doing wrong and please don’t be jealous of their life because it won’t last long, they’ll be cut down like grass or they’ll soon wither away. All you need to do is trust in God and do what is good so that you might live. Find joy in the Lord and He shall give you that which your heart desires. Don’t you know that if you commit yourself to God and trust in Him He will bring out your righteousness while it’s still day and His approval at noon? Child, relax and wait. Stop looking at those who are prospering because of evil. Stop being angry all the time and quit playing with the devil because those who do evil will soon be cut off (and you don’t want to be caught playing in their yard). Oh but those of us who wait upon the Lord will soon receive the earth. And before you know it, you’ll look and won’t even see the evildoers.” Wait in God!

Daily Devotional – 7/18/18 “Get up!”

It’s gloomy outside and someone’s spirit is as dark as the sky and your head is hanging low like the clouds. Baby, lift your head. Why are you sad when God is your joy? Yea, I get it. Things may not be going like you think it should but things are going. Things may not look like you want them to look but find the blessing in the fact that you’re able to see. You might not have a lot of money in the bank but if the account is still open, you got a little. Stop dwelling on what you don’t have, what you could have or even what you should have because all that is gone and you can’t get it back. Oh but you can start new. Let go of the messiness of yesterday and marinate on the marvelous mercy that has been given by the Master. Leave the tears that you toiled with last night back there, wipe your face with the towel of thanksgiving and trespass into the triumphs of this time. Don’t worry about tomorrow when you’ve been trusted with today. Live today! Get up out of that slump you’re in and stand. Now that you’re standing, smell the Holy Spirit that has you surrounded so that you gain a natural high. Now that you’re high off the Spirit, feed your spirit with humbleness and honor and go forth and handle your business! Yea, you have everything you need to get through whatever it is you’ll face today, all you have to do is get up and do it!

Daily Devotional – 7/17/14 “Now faith!”

What is now faith? Well in order to answer that you have to first know the definition of now and faith. Now is defined as the present time or immediately and faith is simply belief or trust. Yea, I know most folk say faith is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen,” but that’s simply the description of faith because if you don’t believe in what you’re praying for you’ve already lost your faith. So, to get back to what is now faith; it’s simple. It’s trusting and believing now. See, you’re praying for God to come but then you say, God in your time instead of saying God I need you now and I am trusting in knowing that you’ll come and see about me now. It’s alright to ask God to come now because He will. Yes, God moves at His time but that’s to bless you but when you need God to come and see about you, He’ll come when you ask. God, I need you now is different from God, send your healing now. Asking God to come and see about you, is like asking your best friend to come and keep you company because you don’t want to be alone. Asking God to send His healing is like asking the doctor to do surgery; it has to be scheduled which is why God does it on His own time. This is why you have to have now faith or now trust or now belief and not the kind that waves like a flag, the kind that you turn on and off like water or the kind that you can set aside and pick up because 2 Corinthians 6:1 says, “As God’s co-workers we urge you not to receive God’s grace in vain.” If you call yourself a Christian, a child of the King, a holy roller, a born again blood bought believer or a blessed and highly favored saint you ought to have now faith yet if you cause your brothers and sisters pain, you find joy in their sorrow, you place obstacles in their way or even rejoice when they fall or have a hand in their demise; then your call may just go unanswered for 2 Corinthians 6:3 says, “We put no stumbling block in anyone’s path, so that our ministry will not be discredited.” (Ministry is anything you do for the Lord that brings unsaved souls to him.)

And you don’t have to preach God’s word to have a ministry because your life, if you’re saved, is a ministry in itself because folks are watching you. I’ve said this many times before but it fits here… The closest some unsaved ever gets to God is you! Folk, who you might not see, is following you. Someone, you don’t even notice, is listening to you. Someone who never mumbles a word to you is watching you. What will they see? Will they see God working through you? Will they see your now faith and believe in this man name God like you? Will they see your now faith and trust in God like you? When will we get now faith to take God at His word? When will we get now faith to believe that God will cover us when He tells us to go? When we will trust God now? 2 Corinthians 6:2 says, “For he says, “In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.” The Message Bible titles 2 Corinthians 6 like this …“Staying at Our Post.” Yes, sometimes it gets hard to stay at your post but this is why we have to have NOW FAITH to believe that whatever God has for us is for us!

Daily Devotional – 7/16/14 “Last (right now) but first is coming!”

Somebody this morning is wavering on your journey because it seems like no matter how far you walk you still end up in the same place, oh but keep climbing. Yea, someone reading this right now is going through hell and you’ve looked and can’t seem to find a way out yet keep looking. Yea, it may be dark out but keep pushing through it, there’s a light at the end and this is simply your test. Haven’t you gotten it yet? Don’t you know that it won’t always be like this? That you’ll have to go through to get to where you need to be? The bible says in Mark 10:31, “But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.” I get it; you want the career, the house, the car, the financial stability and the spouse now but baby if it was that easy you wouldn’t work hard to get it. If you got everything you wanted, you wouldn’t appreciate them when you got it. All I’m saying is, the things worth having is worth working for and more importantly, waiting for. When a woman is pregnant, she has to wait 9 months to deliver the miracle of life. You have to go through 15 birthdays before you make it to 16 to get your license, 17 birthdays to make it to 18 when you think you’re grown and 20 to get to 21 when you think you’re real grown. You have to go through 12 years of school just to graduate with a diploma, 4 more years to graduate with a degree and even more if you pursue more. You have to go through the application process, interviews and testing to get the job. You have to go through applications and paperwork to sign your name for that house or car; many failed relationships to meet your wife or husband and maybe even many doctors, a lot of medicines and treatments and even surgeries before you get your healing yet you rush God. Why?

You won’t always be last because your time is coming, wait for it. You won’t always be without; your time is coming, wait on it. Yes, I know it seems like you got more hell when you accepted Christ and you’re probably saying to God the same as Peter did in Luke 18:28, “We have left all we had to follow you,” but Jesus answered in Luke 18:29-30, by saying, “Yes, and you won’t regret it. No one who has sacrificed home, spouse, brothers and sisters, parents, children—whatever—will lose out. It will all come back multiplied many times over in your lifetime. And then the bonus of eternal life!” So you see, you may lose a few folk and some things when you choose God but that’s alright, they didn’t fit in anymore anyway but if you don’t get anything else out of what I share today, get this … Even if it feels like you’re always at the back of the line, it’s simply your place to be (right now) because the last will soon be first. Even if you your name is the last on the list (right now), that’s alright because the bottom will soon be the top. Even when it seems like everyone is getting to the top but you, keep climbing because you’ll soon see the view from the top of your tree and it’ll all be worth it.
