Daily Devotional for Oct 9, 2026

2026-10-09: Let’s talk about climbing a mountain and finding a dinner reservation with God. 🍽️ In Exodus 24, the elders of Israel climb the mountain into the terrifying presence of God, but instead of being struck down, they sit and eat a meal 🏔️ God's grace knows exactly who is coming to dinner. In James 4, we are warned against climbing the Empire's ladders of envy and pride. 🪜 The Empire tells you to climb until you matter, but the Kingdom invites you to come down to a table that is already set.

Have you been keeping your distance from God out of fear? Stop climbing, draw near, and discover there is more grace here than your mess can use up. 🌱
