A Devotion for your drive into work:
If circumcision started as a mark in private, why did God’s greatest desire always point to a heart made new, not just a body marked by tradition?
Is there an area where outward religious practice is masking an unchanged heart—and what would “cutting away the flesh” look like today in public, work, or family life?
Tracing from Genesis 12 and 17 to Deuteronomy and Romans 2, this message teaches that God’s covenants and commands (including circumcision) always aimed at a heart response—a “cutting away” of sinful desires so that God’s love, reverence, and obedience flow openly in daily life and the public square. Just as bearing a family name represents a legacy, claiming Christ’s name calls for genuine transformation: changing how believers lead, forgive, relate, and “honor and fear” God at every moment. The invitation is to pray for God to circumcise every part of the heart, removing anything that prevents full devotion and true witness to His mercy and grace in all settings.
