Today’s Reading:
1 Peter 2:13–25 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves.”
(1 Peter 2:16)
This week’s EFKS theme:
Authority and Governance
A Thought for Today
Christian freedom does not remove our responsibility for how we live.
What This Means for Us Today
Peter speaks to believers living under human authorities while reminding them that their deepest allegiance belongs to God.
We may live within earthly systems, but our character should still reflect Christ.
Our freedom becomes an opportunity to choose what is good.
Carry This With You
Wherever you live and serve, remember who you ultimately belong to.
A Simple Prayer
Lord, give me wisdom in how I respond to authority.
Help my choices honour You.
Today’s Invitation
In one situation where you disagree with someone today, choose a response that still reflects Christ.
