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.
