A devotional for today

Today’s readings

God exposes idols as powerless burdens and declares that His purposes will stand. He carries His people rather than needing to be carried by them.

Paul urges believers to walk worthy of their calling, protect unity, and grow toward maturity under Christ, the Head.

Day after day God bears our burdens; His strength deserves praise.

Wisdom and understanding build a strong household.

Idols must be carried, but God carries His people. Ephesians shows Jesus as the living Head who gives gifts so His body can grow in truth and love.

Am I carrying an idol that promises security but cannot carry me?

How can I strengthen unity without pretending differences do not exist?

Jesus, carry me, mature me, and help me build up Your body in love. Amen.

Use one gift God has given you to strengthen another believer.
