DDD: Heart Over Ritual: True Circumcision Brings Justice and Humility

A Devotion for your drive into work: 

God doesn't want more religious routines—He wants a heart so changed that actions, words, and civic engagement reflect His justice, love, and public witness every day

Tracing circumcision from Abraham (Genesis 17) through Moses (Deuteronomy) and Paul (Romans 2), the message teaches that God's real requirement is a transformed heart—one that submits to His commands, loves justice, cares for the vulnerable, and avoids hypocrisy in public and private spheres. Circumcision originated as a covenant sign but is only meaningful when it leads to genuine obedience and practical service. The closing prayer asks God to cut away everything that distracts from praise, witness, and public integrity—reminding listeners that God's glory is best shown through changed lives, not rituals alone.This devotional emphasizes that true circumcision is a change of heart, not just an outward ritual—God wants humility, obedience, and public integrity that brings Him glory, rather than religious routine or hypocritical behavior.
