A devotional for today

Today’s readings

Judges shows private religion turning into idolatry and an entire tribe choosing convenience over obedience.

Jesus tells Nicodemus that no one can enter God's Kingdom without new birth from above. God loved the world and gave His Son.

Creation displays God's wisdom, order, and sustaining care.

The poor are often ignored, but mercy toward the needy is blessed.

Judges shows hearts inventing religion; Jesus says hearts must be made new. We do not need a better self-made system. We need new life from God.

What part of my faith is merely habit, and where do I need the Spirit to make me new?

Talk about what 'born from above' means in practical everyday life.

Jesus, thank You for coming into the world to save. Holy Spirit, renew my heart and lead me into the light. Amen.

Bring one hidden habit into God's light.
