Daily Devotional for Jun 16, 2026

Let's talk about who shows up at the funeral. 🤝 In Gen 25, Abraham dies, and who buries him? Isaac and Ishmael. The golden child and the exiled brother stand shoulder to shoulder at the grave. The empire profits off our endless divisions and isolation, but the Kingdom is all about unexpected, un-domesticated reconciliation. Abraham handed down a massive promise along with deep family trauma, yet the brothers refuse to let the division be the final word. You don't have to understand how Ishmael got there; you just have to notice that he came. Where might God be planting the seeds for an unexpected reunion in your life today?
