2 Peter 1:4
Through these he has given us his very great and precious
promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having
escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
The great God of heaven and earth, the creator and ruler
over all things, has made His divine nature available to us through His Son,
Jesus. He confirms this endless gift
through His promises, His power and His faithfulness. Whether our faith be weak or strong right
now, we can find hope in claiming what has already been granted to us.
What does it matter if times are tough? We know the tough times will end. Do we not know that the divine nature and
power of Jesus Christ is sufficient to provide victory for us in all things? Once we have accepted Jesus as Our Savior,
the victory is ours. All that we need
has been provided to us free, without conditions and unchangeable. All of it is provided to serve the great ends
and purposes of Almighty God. All of it
is provided to proclaim His glory as He showers us with His everlasting good.
Through this divine intervention, we are able to escape the
frailties of our own flesh and the corruption of the world. With the precious promises graciously
bestowed and powerfully applied, we are able to live under the divine influence
of Our Savior and avoid the ungodliness of our carnal nature.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for providing Our Blessed Hope
and Assurance, Jesus Christ. We praise
You, worship You and exalt Your Name for all that You have set aside for
us. We pray that You teach us how to submit
to Our Lord, Our Master and Our King, Jesus so that we may be fully prepared to
receive our eternal inheritance. May
Your majesty, Your grace and Your power be manifested in us here on earth as it
is in heaven. May it all be for Your
glory and the gain of the kingdom. We
ask all these things in the name of Our Divine Mediator, Jesus Christ.
