Today’s Reading:
Exodus 21:2–11 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him.”
(Exodus 21:3)
This week’s EFKS theme:
Stolen from God: Slavery
A Thought for Today
Even within broken human systems, God places limits on human power.
What This Means for Us Today
These ancient laws can feel uncomfortable because they describe forms of servitude far removed from how we believe people should live today.
Yet the passage places obligations and limits upon those holding power.
It reminds us that power must never be treated as permission to disregard another person’s humanity.
Carry This With You
Having power over a situation never removes your responsibility to care.
A Simple Prayer
Lord, make me responsible with whatever influence I have.
Help me protect the dignity of others.
Today’s Invitation
Notice where you hold more power than someone else today.
Use it with kindness.
