Tuesday September 16, 2025XIV Week After Pentecost---📖 Today’s readings highlight the sobering cost of rebellion, the providence of God, and the authority of Jesus. In 2 Samuel 18, Absalom’s pride leads to his downfall, reminding us that sin always ends in sorrow. In Acts 23, Paul’s life is threatened by a deadly plot, yet God’s hand of protection works through unlikely means. And in Mark 11–12, Jesus confronts the religious leaders with the parable of the tenants, showing that He is the rejected stone who becomes the cornerstone.✨ These passages remind us that while human pride resists God’s rule, His plan always prevails—and our hope rests in Christ, the true King and Savior.
