Reading: Deuteronomy 22:10; 1 Corinthians 6:14-20

Devotional: An ox and donkey yoked together cannot work effectively—they have different natures, different strengths, and different purposes. When believers bind themselves to unbelievers in intimate partnerships, they create the same impossible tension. This applies to marriage, business partnerships, close friendships, and any relationship requiring shared values and direction. You cannot walk with God while holding hands with what grieves Him. The closer you stay to what God brought you out of, the easier it becomes to go back. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit—treat it as sacred ground.

Today, evaluate your closest relationships. Are you equally yoked with those who share your devotion to Christ? If not, seek God's wisdom for how to navigate those relationships without compromising your consecration.
