“so that we are no longer children, tossed by waves and borne in every direction by every wind of teaching, through the trickery of men, through craftiness, aimed at the schemes of deceit.”
Ephesians 4:14
Lumin’s Faithful Translation
The setting
Paul wrote to believers in Ephesus, a bustling port city filled with competing philosophies and religious ideas. New followers of Jesus needed steady growth in faith to stand firm against misleading teachings that mixed truth with error.
Reflection
How does the image of being tossed by waves connect to the growth God wants for you in serving others?
A prayer
Jesus, keep my heart steady in your truth so I grow strong enough to serve without being pulled off course. Amen.
Carry it with you
Today, read one chapter from a Gospel and note one clear teaching about serving others. Then practice it by helping a neighbor with a simple task like carrying groceries.
