Monday's Devotional - 11/09/2026

Good morning! Scroll through your feed and you’ll see it: trends rise and vanish, and yesterday’s big moment is already forgotten. Peter reminds us that this has always been true of us. “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls.”

Our achievements, our popularity, even our best-laid plans have a shelf life. That isn’t meant to discourage us. It’s meant to free us from building our identity on things that were never designed to last. But Peter doesn’t leave us in the field of fading grass. “The word of the Lord remains forever.” While opinions shift and culture changes, God’s Word stays steady.

His promises don’t expire, His truth doesn’t need updating, and His love doesn’t depend on engagement. And here’s the good news: this is the very word that was preached to you. The gospel isn’t just something lasting you can admire from a distance. It’s the living word that gave you new birth into something imperishable.

So today, anchor yourself in what endures. Before you check your notifications, open the Word. Let what is eternal shape what you chase, what you fear, and what you share. You were made for more than a moment, and the God who loved you into new life isn’t going anywhere. What are you tempted to build your worth on today that won’t last? Trade it for something that will as you make a great day!
