This morning in my personal devotions I was reading in 1st Peter & 2nd Peter. 2 Peter 1:1-11 really cut deep today and spoke to my Spirit. I posted this small revelation on Facebook of what God taught me through it. It all connects, and I love it. Hope it blesses you today:
We have all we need for life and godliness through his divine power… and are promised WE can participate in His DIVINE NATURE to escape worldly corruption. Which comes from? Evil desires. (2 Pet 1:3-4). Then, with your faith ALREADY in place firmly, add in INCREASING MEASURE goodness/knowledge/self-
control/perseverance/ godliness/brotherly kindness/love (2 Pet 1:5-8). Why? To be effective, productive, be sure of your calling, and to “NEVER FALL/STUMBLE”. (2 Pet 1:10).
Feel free to study that scripture and be blessed!
