Day 4: The Danger of Empty Reform
Reading: Luke 11:24-26
Devotional: Jesus tells a striking parable about an unclean spirit returning to find a house "swept clean and put in order," yet ultimately empty. This serves as a warning against mere outward reform without inward transformation. It's not enough to simply clean up our lives; we must invite God's presence to fill and transform us. Reflect on areas of your life where you might have focused on outward change without addressing the deeper issues of the heart. Ask God to not only cleanse you but to fill you with His presence and power.
