Daily Devotional for Sep 5, 2026

2026-09-05: Let's talk about the bill coming due. In Exodus 11, the final plague is announced. 📜 The Empire thought it could drown Israelite babies and just move on, but systemic violence doesn't just disappear. It's the Empire's own violence returning to its source. In Matthew 23, Jesus delivers his harshest warning to leaders who build monuments to murdered prophets while repeating the exact pattern that killed them. 🏛️ The Empire loves a dead prophet because dead prophets can't challenge the systems of today. But the Kingdom of God keeps the receipts. 🧾 You can't just build a nicer tomb; you have to dismantle the system. ✨
