Reading: Exodus 23:14-19; Matthew 11:28-30
Devotional: This entire section of Exodus begins with worship and ends with worship, with everything in between—work, speech, relationships, justice, rest—meant to be shaped by it. God isn't after religious activity detached from ordinary life. He's forming a people whose everyday moments reflect who they worship. The question isn't just "Did I worship on Sunday?" but "Is my worship shaping Monday?" Israel failed at this. We fail too. Our hope isn't in the strength of our worship, but in Jesus—the true worshiper who loved perfectly and gave Himself for worshipers like us. Because of Him, we're not only forgiven; we're being formed. Every ordinary moment becomes a place to ask: "What would it look like for worship to reach here?" True worship doesn't stay at the altar. It reaches the everyday.
