Daily Devotional — Sept. 13, 2026: Wherever I Am, God Is There

The useful part

Daily Devotional 9.13.26 | First United Methodist Church of Fort Worth ABOUT Who We Are Visit. Romans 8:10-28 10 But if Christ is in you, then the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit [ a ] is life because of righteousness. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption.

How it works

• 26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes [ g ] with groanings too deep for words.
• 27 And God, [ h ] who searches hearts, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit [ i ] intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
• 28 We know that all things work together [ j ] for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
• Future Glory 18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us.
• Now hope that is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what one already sees?

Details worth keeping

12 So then, brothers and sisters, we are obligated, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. [ d ] Father!" 16 it is that very Spirit bearing witness [ e ] with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if we in fact suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
