Daily Devotional for Sep 15, 2026

2026-09-15: Let's talk about what strength is actually for. 💪 In Nehemiah 9, the Levites remember a God whose limitless strength is never used for self-benefit, but entirely to rescue and sustain the vulnerable. The Empire uses strength to extract, but the Kingdom uses strength to sustain. 💭 In Romans 14 and 15, Paul tells the Roman church that the "strong" must not please themselves, but instead use their strength to build up their neighbors. ✊ If your personal freedom causes someone else to stumble, you are just practicing the Empire's version of strength. Kingdom strength is measured by what you are willing to lay down to keep your neighbor from falling. ✨
