—1 Peter 3:8-17
by: Lisa Moore.
Today’s reading begins with Peter’s encouragement to unite, to express love and tenderness, and to bless instead of seeking vengeance for evil deeds committed against you. Peter urged his readers to seek peace and pursue it because the Lord sees the righteous and hears their prayers but is against those who practice evil. To effectively testify for Christ, we must honor Him. To determine if our hearts truly honor Him, we must evaluate how we treat those around us. If you are struggling in this area, repent. Remember, we are called to bless others, even when we do not feel they deserve it, in order to receive the blessings of God.
