1 Peter 2:15-16 (NIV)
15 For it is God’s will that by doing good you
should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. 16 Live as free
people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as
God’s slaves.
What does the world most need to hear from me today? A life
tuned to the melody of grace that I claim I believe. Doing good, being like
Christ, is Peter's answer to opposition, cynicism, and even persecution. We are
free in Jesus, but being free means that we don't have to pretentiously prove
we are free. Instead, we can live for him who died to conquer death and
renounced absolute heavenly freedom so we could find it. We are free to serve
others, and most of all to serve God.
Thought for today:
Do I serve others?
