Daily Devotion: Sin Confuses the Human Brain - January 17, 2026

Genesis 34:2, 11 (NLT) But when Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, saw Dinah, he seized her and raped her. …Then Shechem spoke to Dinah’s father and brothers: “Please be kind to me, and let me marry her. I will give you whatever you ask me.” In today’s Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall teaches from the tragic story of Dinah, showing how sin can confuse the human brain and cloud moral judgment. Even after committing violent and sinful acts, Shechem tried to manipulate Dinah and her family, expecting kindness and acceptance. This passage reminds us to recognize the destructive nature of sin, the lack of regard for consequences, and the importance of wisdom and discernment when dealing with those who act selfishly or immorally.
