The Grit in Integrity
August 23, 2026
Nehemiah 6:15-16 declares the wall completed in fifty-two days, and the surrounding nations lost their confidence because they saw God's hand in it. The devotional finds grit hiding in the middle of the word integrity, and defines integrity as wholeness, a wall with no gaps and a life with no gap between public and private. The challenge is to close the gaps out of reverence for God and to finish, with grit, what others said could not be done.

Look at Us
August 23, 2026
Acts 3:2-6 hangs on a phrase easy to skip: the beggar was put at the gate "every day." The crowd had walked past him so many times they'd stopped seeing him—he'd become part of the building. Then Peter looked straight at him. Before the miracle, before the sermon, there's just a man deciding to actually see one person. Boldness almost never starts on a stage; it starts with noticing someone and refusing to walk past. And you'll rarely know what's really going on with the person you stop for—you're not responsible for the miracle, just for looking straight at somebody.
KIDS
The Hardest Kind of Love
August 23, 2026
Matthew 5:43-44 says something that probably made the whole crowd go quiet: love your enemies and pray for the people who are mean to you. Everybody had been taught to love friends and hate the ones who hurt you, but Jesus flipped it upside down. This doesn't mean bullying is okay—if a kid is being mean, always tell a grownup. But praying for a hard person is like a secret superpower: it's hard to keep hating someone while you pray for them, and God softens your heart even if the other kid hasn't changed yet.

Bear It
1 Corinthians 13:7 reminds us that love doesn’t just endure hardships—it protects, covers, and restores, just as Christ’s love shields us with grace.

Truth About Love

Forgiveness Failure
1 Corinthians 13:5 reminds us that true love doesn’t keep score, and holding onto past wrongs only poisons our relationships. Just as Jesus forgave us completely, we are called to let go of bitterness, trusting God to give us the strength to forgive and find freedom in His grace.

Anger Issues
1 Corinthians 13:5 and Proverbs 14:29 remind us that love is patient and not easily angered, urging us to respond with grace rather than frustration. When anger rises, we can choose to pause, pray, and reflect Christ’s love, allowing His peace to guide our words and actions.

Selfless Shift

This week, choose to love like Christ—serving others quietly, listening fully, and giving without expecting anything in return.
