Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God…—1 Peter 2:16–17 (NIV)
As you celebrate the Fourth of July, remember that the true essence of freedom is a call to live as God’s devoted servant. Today, let the fireworks ignite an appreciation for your spiritual growth and remind you that the highest form of freedom is in serving Him and loving others.
Lord, help us use our freedom wisely to spread Your love and serve You faithfully.
