Good To Everyone
Tuesday, September 22, 2026 — Good To Everyone Devotional Thought “The LORD is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation.” Psalm 145:9, NLT David wrote this as a psalm of praise, and praise psalms can be easy to skim — they feel like the warm-up before the real content starts. But read slowly, this one makes a claim most of us don’t actually believe, even though we’d say we do: God is good to everyone. Not just the ones who deserve it. Not just the ones in the room. Everyone. That’s a bigger claim than it sounds.…

Enough For Today
Monday, September 21, 2026 — Enough For Today Devotional Thought “I will rain down food from heaven for you. Each day the people can go out and gather enough food for that day.”Exodus 16:4, NLT Six weeks out of Egypt and the Israelites are already grumbling for the pots of meat they left behind — conveniently forgetting the whip that came with the meal. It’s an old move. Hard days have a way of making chains look like comfort, as long as the chains are behind us and the hard day is right now. God’s answer isn’t a lecture. It’s…

The Thread: Grace Rebuilds
Friday, September 18, 2026 — Let Go This Week in Review Monday we stood on the far shore of the sea and looked at the evidence: the army that chased Israel out of Egypt was gone, and the road back to the old life was closed. Tuesday the psalmist measured God’s forgiveness in the one distance that never closes, east from west, and told us to stop hauling around what God does not even store. Wednesday Paul caught the Roman church running performance reviews on each other’s discipleship and confiscated the scorecards. And Thursday a king burned a ledger the…

The Open Ledger
Thursday, September 17, 2026 — Collecting Inside a Canceled Debt Devotional Thought “Shouldn’t you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?”Matthew 18:33, NLT Peter thinks he is being generous. How often should I forgive? Seven times? Seven felt roomy. Jesus takes the ceiling off entirely: seventy times seven. Not a bigger number to count to. The end of counting. Then he tells a story about a servant who owes the king ten thousand talents, more than the tax revenue of whole provinces, a number meant to be absurd. Nobody earns that back. The king…

Somebody Else’s Servant
Wednesday, September 16, 2026 — Put Down the Scorecard Devotional Thought “Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge whether they stand or fall. And with the Lord’s help, they will stand and receive his approval.”Romans 14:4, NLT The believers in Rome were fighting about dinner. Some ate everything; some, wanting to stay clear of meat that had passed through pagan temples, ate only vegetables. Some kept holy days; some treated every day alike. And each side had appointed itself scorekeeper of the other side’s discipleship. You have seen this move. You may have made…

East from West
Psalm 103 emphasizes God’s boundless mercy, highlighting that He removes our sins as far as the east is from the west. Unlike humans, who hold onto past failures, God forgives completely. This psalm reminds us that true forgiveness defines life with God, encouraging us to let go of our stored regrets and embrace His grace.
