Daily Devotional for Sep 8, 2026

2026-09-08: Let's talk about the Empire's favorite Bible verse. 📖 In Exodus 12, Pharaoh's absolute control crumbles in a single midnight. 🌙 In Romans 13, Paul tells the church that all authority is instituted by God. For centuries, this verse has been weaponized by empires and enslavers to demand unquestioning obedience. But when read next to Exodus, it’s not a blank check—it's a demotion. ⋱ Earthly authority is derivative, not ultimate. And every empire eventually meets its midnight. ✨
