Daily Devotional for Sep 19, 2026

2026-09-19: Let's talk about camels, needles, and God's name. 🐪 In Zephaniah 2, the prophet looks at the ruined city of Nineveh and quotes the city's own arrogant boast: "I am, and there is no one else." The Empire didn't just conquer nations; it stole God's own language of uniqueness. 🪪 In Matthew 19, Jesus says it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom. 🪡 Why? Because the Empire's wealth trains you to say Nineveh's words. It teaches the illusion of total self-sufficiency. If your hands are full of your own empire, you can't receive the Kingdom. But in God's economy, the first will be last, and the last will be first. 🌱
