Thursday October 23, 2025XIX Week After Pentecost—In today’s episode, the Scriptures call us to purity of heart, purpose, and devotion — reminding us that God looks not at our appearances or actions alone, but at the motives that drive them.
📖 2 Kings 9:1–16 tells of Jehu’s sudden rise and anointing as king — a divine judgment in motion. God’s justice moves swiftly, showing that He raises up leaders to accomplish His purposes, even amid chaos and corruption.📖 1 Corinthians 6:12–20 brings Paul’s powerful reminder that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Freedom in Christ is not a license for sin but an invitation to honor God with every part of our lives — body, mind, and spirit.📖 Matthew 6:1–6, 16–18 finds Jesus teaching the way of hidden holiness — giving, praying, and fasting not for public applause but for the Father’s eyes alone. The true reward, He says, comes from the God who sees in secret.Together, these passages call us to live with integrity, purity, and humility — serving God from the inside out.
