Devotional

When you hear the word "rebel," you might think of someone breaking rules just for the thrill. But not all rebellion is reckless. Sometimes, it’s necessary — especially when it’s about standing up for what's right.

Think of Esther. She could have kept silent and played it safe in the palace. Instead, she courageously risked her life to save her people (Esther 4). Her "rebellion" wasn’t about defying for defiance's sake — it was rooted in a cause much greater than herself.

In today's world, standing for truth, kindness, justice, and faith can feel like an act of rebellion. When you refuse to conform to negativity, dishonesty, or selfishness, you become a "rebel with a cause" — someone who is changing the world by standing firm in godly principles.

You don't have to cause chaos to be a rebel. Sometimes, the greatest act of rebellion is quietly living out love, truth, and excellence in a noisy, broken world.

So today, ask yourself: what worthy cause am I willing to "rebel" for?

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. What is one cause I am passionate about that aligns with God's heart?
2. Where have I been tempted to "blend in" instead of standing out for what's right?
3. How can I live courageously for my values today?
4. Who inspires me to stand firm even when it’s unpopular?

Let us pray:

Dear Lord, help me to be courageous and bold. Teach me not to conform to what is wrong but to stand strong for what is right. Fill me with the strength to be a positive force for change in my world. Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them, and live them:

1. I am courageous in standing for truth and righteousness.
2. I am a positive force for good in the world.
3. I walk boldly in God's purpose for my life.
4. I am unafraid to be different for the right cause.

Keep standing strong and daring to be different for the right reasons! The world needs your light. See you tomorrow!
