Still Worth Building

Scripture Anchor: Psalm 138:8 (NKJV)

“The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.”

🌿 Devotional Reflection

Today was not a simple day. I faced reminders of how much was given — and how little was returned. I looked at contracts and promises that cost thousands but never fulfilled their word. I saw my own name printed on paper that others used, but never protected.

And yet… God was still with me.

There’s a quiet kind of courage that comes when you finally say, “Enough.” Not in anger, but in wisdom. Today, I claimed my idea back. I claimed my voice back. I took the steps to protect what God placed in me.

“A vision that I’ve been carrying for years — one that cost us more than just money — but one I believe God is still breathing on.

💬 Heart Reflection

“The Lord will perfect that which concerns me…”

He sees what concerns you. What kept you up at night. What you hoped would be different. And He’s not asking you to pretend it didn’t hurt — He’s asking you to trust that He’s not finished.

He’s not done perfecting the parts of your journey that didn’t make sense.
And He’s not done redeeming what others may have mishandled.

You didn’t lose your vision today — you clarified it.

🙏🏽 Prayer

Father, I thank You for protecting what I couldn’t see and restoring what I thought was lost. Thank You for giving me the strength to stand, to let go of false partnerships, and to move forward with peace. You are perfecting what concerns me — even when I don’t feel in control. I trust You with the vision You gave me. Let Your grace fill every gap.
