Dia 25 de 31

May 25

Introduction

Paul uses the images of darkness and light to contrast a former way of life with new life as God’s people. People who belong to the light are encouraged to live in a way that pleases God.

Scripture Reading

Ephesians 5:1-20

Today’s Key Verse: Ephesians 5:2

Your life must be controlled by love, just as Christ loved us and give his life for us as a sweet-smelling offering and sacrifice that pleases God.

Reflect

What are your reactions or thoughts concerning today’s Scripture reading? Is there anything that you find particularly hard to do? If so, why? Reread verse 8. What does becoming one of the “Lord’s people” mean to you? What is your understanding of Paul’s charge to “live like people who belong to the light?”

Pray

Almighty God, I want to live in the light and walk in the pathway of goodness, righteousness, and truth. Thank you for leading me out of darkness and for teaching me how to live in a way that is pleasing to you and reflects your love. Amen.

Tomorrow’s Reading

Ephesians 5:21-33: The apostle Paul discusses the relationship between wives and husbands.
