A devotional for today

Today’s readings

Conflict grows between David's house and Saul's house. Abner's death shows the cost of ambition and vengeance.

Jesus washes His disciples' feet, then identifies betrayal at the table. The Lord takes the place of a servant.

Blessed are those who walk in God's ways and hide His word in their hearts.

God hears the righteous, and good news brings joy.

Human kingdoms rise through rivalry; Jesus kneels with a towel. The true King serves even those who will fail Him.

Whose feet am I unwilling to wash in practical service?

Name one unnoticed act of service that reflected Jesus to you.

Servant King, make me humble enough to serve without applause. Amen.

Do one lowly task for someone else.
