LISTEN FAMILY:

Pride says, "I got this."
Humility says, "Lord, I need You."
One of the greatest dangers of pride is that it convinces us we don't need God's help.
Proverbs 16:18 reminds us that humility keeps us dependent on Him.

👀 SOMETHING NEW BEGINS TOMORROW...

For the last 151 days, we've gathered each morning for prayer, encouragement, and God's Word.

Tomorrow, June 1st, we begin a brand-new journey.

📖 WISDOM.

For the entire month of June, we will be walking through the Book of Proverbs together.

Not religion.

Not tradition.

Wisdom.

God's wisdom for everyday life.

Wisdom for decisions.

Wisdom for relationships.

Wisdom for finances.

Wisdom for leadership.

Wisdom for living.

If you've ever asked:

"Lord, what should I do?"

This series is for you.

I believe God is about to reveal practical truths that can transform the way we think, speak, and live.

🔔 Make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel and turn on notifications so you don't miss Day 1.

We begin tomorrow morning.

And trust me...

🚨 FAMILY, I NEED YOUR HELP! 🚨

I just checked my YouTube analytics, and I was amazed.

Over the last 28 days, **355 people** found their way to the ShirleySpeaksLive™ YouTube Channel for Morning Devotions, prayer, encouragement, and God's Word.

That tells me something:

📖 People are hungry for truth.

🙏🏾 People are hungry for hope.

👑 People are hungry for God's wisdom.

And starting this Monday, June 1st, we are launching a brand-new teaching series:

📚 UNDERSTANDING THE PROVERBS

Daily wisdom teachings from the Book of Proverbs.

Because God's wisdom is the answer to every challenge, every decision, every relationship, and every season of life.

And to the faithful men who join us each morning—you are invited too. Proverbs speaks directly to leaders, fathers, husbands, entrepreneurs, and every man seeking God's wisdom.

🎯 Here's my goal:

I would love to reach **500 YouTube subscribers** so we can continue growing this ministry and unlock additional tools to better serve this community.

Right now, we are at **38 subscribers.**

Would you help me?

1️⃣ Subscribe today:

2️⃣ Click the 🔔 notification bell

3️⃣ Share this post with ONE person who needs God's wisdom

That's it.

Together, we can spread God's Word one person, one prayer, and one devotion at a time.

💛 You are not forgotten.

💛 You are not alone.

💛 You are not without hope.

God is still transforming lives from the inside out.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

With love,

"STRONG UNDER PRESSURE"

Life has a way of applying pressure.
Pressure in our finances.
Pressure in our health.
Pressure in our families.
Pressure in our relationships.
But God's Word reminds us:

📖 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed..."
The pressure may be real, but so is the power of God.
You may be pressed...
But you're not crushed.
You may be confused...
But you're not without hope.
You may have been knocked down...
But you're not destroyed.

The enemy wants you to believe the pressure means you've lost.
The devil is a liar!
The pressure is proof that you're still standing and God is not finished with you yet.

Join me for Morning Devotions as we learn how to remain STRONG UNDER PRESSURE.

🌧️ GOD, OUR STRENGTH 🌧️

Psalm 84:5

"Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee..."

We love the sunshine.

But many times we complain when it rains.

Yet rain is necessary.

Rain purifies.
Rain nourishes.
Rain produces growth.
Rain prepares the harvest.

God sends rain on the just and the unjust.

This morning I shared a testimony about standing at my window during a heavy rainstorm while spending time with God.

As I looked toward heaven, the Lord dropped a song into my spirit:

🎵 "You said You'd open the windows of heaven and pour me out a blessing that I may not have room enough to receive..." 🎵

What a reminder that blessings often come when we make time for God.

Not when we rush.
Not when we strive.
Not when we try to do everything ourselves.

But when we sit with Him.

God wants to strengthen you.

God wants to help you.

God wants to bless you.

The question is:

Will you make room for Him?

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE WISDOM SCRIPTURE?

05/28/2026

You know that sinking feeling when you realize you made the same mistake again?

Different day. Different situation. Same poor decision.

You promised yourself you wouldn't go back. You told yourself this time would be different. But here you are — dealing with the same consequences from the same choices.

Here's what I've learned: It's not about willpower. It's not about trying harder. It's about wisdom.

The Bible says in Proverbs 4:7, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."

But here's the problem — most people read the Bible but don't understand what they're reading. They see the words but miss the revelation. They know the scripture but can't apply it to their daily decisions.

That's why I'm teaching Understanding the Proverbs starting June 1st on YouTube. For 31 days, we're going deep into the Book of Proverbs — one chapter per day — and I'm going to show you how to apply God's wisdom to your everyday life.

Because wisdom isn't just about knowing what's right. It's about doing what's right when everything in you wants to do wrong.

**What's one decision you keep struggling with over and over again?**

🚨WARNING!!! WARNING!!! DANGER!!! DANGER!! 🚨

The enemy loves division because division weakens people spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and relationally.

📖 Galatians 5:15 reminds us:
“But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.”

This morning during DAY 148 — Transformation Thursday, we talked about:
✔️ Guarding your mouth
✔️ Guarding your spirit
✔️ Walking in wisdom and self-control
✔️ The dangers of gossip, offense, jealousy, and division
✔️ Why every battle does NOT deserve your participation

Sometimes the greatest victory is remaining in peace while chaos tries to pull you into confusion.

God is transforming us not only by changing our environment — but by changing how we respond to people.
