Today’s Reading:
Deuteronomy 17:14–20 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“Do not consider himself better than his fellow Israelites and turn from the law to the right or to the left.”
(Deuteronomy 17:20)
This week’s EFKS theme:
Authority and Governance
A Thought for Today
Leadership should never make us think we are more important than others.
What This Means for Us Today
Israel’s future king would have authority, but God placed clear boundaries around it.
He was to remain humble, know God’s word, and remember that he stood among his people rather than above them.
Godly leadership begins with humility.
Carry This With You
Authority is a responsibility, not a reason for pride.
A Simple Prayer
Lord, keep me humble wherever I have influence.
Help me treat others with dignity and respect.
Today’s Invitation
Notice how you treat someone who cannot offer you anything in return.
Choose humility.
