A devotional for today

Today’s readings

Hezekiah reopens and cleanses the Temple, restores sacrifice, and leads Judah back toward worship.

Paul tells believers not to despise or judge one another over disputable matters. Each belongs to the Lord.

The earth belongs to God; the King of glory is welcomed in.

God gives both hearing and sight; use both wisely.

Hezekiah clears away what kept worship from functioning. Romans asks us to clear away contempt and judgment so Christ remains Lord of the fellowship.

Am I making a preference into a test Jesus did not make?

How can Christians disagree without despising one another?

King of glory, cleanse my heart and teach me to welcome fellow believers as You have welcomed me. Amen.

Choose grace over winning one unnecessary argument.
