Daily Devotional for Jul 9, 2026

2026-07-09: Let's talk about going barefoot. 🦶 The empire loves to control access to the sacred, building grand temples and deciding who gets to approach the divine. But in Exodus 3, Moses encounters God on an ordinary workday in the wilderness. God speaks from a burning bush and declares the dirt to be holy ground. The holiness is the presence, not the location! God claims the margins. In Romans 2, Paul echoes this decentralization, declaring that God's truth isn't locked in an imperial vault—it is written directly on the human heart. You don't need a cathedral to encounter the divine. Take off your shoes today. The dirt under your feet is already holy ground. ✨
