The reading changes at midnight Central Time, and it stays the same all day.

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Ephesians 5:1-2King James Version

Plain English

'Be ye therefore followers of God' means be imitators of God, as dear children copy a parent they love. Walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave Himself for us, and hath means has. His life was an offering, a 'sweetsmelling savour,' which means a pleasing fragrance to God.

Devotional

A child copies the way a parent walks down a hall, sometimes without knowing it. Followers of God are dear children learning His gait. Take one step today that looks like the love of Christ, who gave Himself.
