Lord Enables Godly Living
Peter’s 2nd letter teaches opposing
internal spiritual attacks by Satan
with the knowledge of the truth.
Peter warns against apostasy within
the church, moral perversions
and the denial of Christ’s return
that false teachers propagate.
He exhorts his readers to grow in
grace & knowledge that come thru
Christ, thereby gaining strength
to resist error and avoid heresy.
Lord, You Enable Godly Living:
By His divine power, God has given
us everything we need for living a
godly life… He has given us great
…promises; which enable you to
share His divine nature (2Pet 1:3-4)
Brethren, be…diligent to make your
call and election sure, for if you do
these things you will never stumble;
for so an entrance will be supplied to
you abundantly into the everlasting
kingdom of our Lord (v10-11).
And so we have the prophetic
Word confirmed, which you do
well to heed as a light that shines
in a dark place… and the morning
star rises in your hearts (v19).
Father God, I claim your promises:
that You Give us Godly Nature
and that You Enable Godly Living.
Grant me grace of developing more
intimate relationship with You as
I know more of You & Christ Jesus.
Help me remember what You teach
& be diligent in faithful obedience.
Help me grow spiritually; so that
I may live wholly for You. Amen.
Lord Jesus, thank You for giving
me new life that will never end.
Your holy word says if anyone is in
Christ; the new creation has come:
the old has gone; the new is here.
I purpose Lord to make the call
and election sure; so that I will not
stumble but grow into Your image.
And with Your empowerment, I will
have the capacity to further Your
kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Holy Spirit, teach me how to tap
into Your divine power so that I will
not lack anything that You offer.
Shine Your light in areas of darkness
as morning star shines in my heart.
Fill me continually Lord, for I want
to experience You more and more.
Holy Spirit, increase the evidence
of Your presence in my life; so that
I will display more love, more power,
more of You in my life. Amen!!
