Today’s reading is 1 Peter 2
“Be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.”
1 Peter 2:13-17 ESV

All,
This stands out because Peter says, “Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.” We can chose to be servants to our jobs, status, lifestyle or we can be a servant of God. We can’t serve two masters. We are told to be subject to “every human institution” and we also are expected to “work as working for the Lord”(Col 3:23). Can we do all while putting God as the highest? Yes. Please pray that we and our friends serve one Lord today. Matt 6:33. Please pray for T.C. and Bradley’s group.
