“For this is the will of God our peace, being mindful of evil and faithful in the things of God.”1 Peter 3:15
Living out our faithfulness in everyday life requires more than grand gestures or grandiose statements. It requires small, daily choices that speak to our hearts and align with our values. For instance, if we value justice, we might choose to speak up against injustice, to listen to and amplify the voices of those who are marginalized, and to hold accountable those in positions of power.
Living it out today
Read the Bible with a friend or accountability partner, and choose a passage to focus on each day.
Set aside time to reflect on our hearts and minds, and to make a choice to be kind and compassionate towards ourselves and others.
Practice forgiveness by making a conscious choice to release the anger and resentment that holds us back.
Take time to rest in the Lord, and to reflect on our hearts and minds.
Choose to be content with what you have, and to see the good in every situation.
Practice humility by listening more than you speak, and by rolling up your sleeves to get involved in your community.
