2 Peter 3 ~ Praying Scripture

Please read 2 Peter 3.

Meditate on verse 2.

You should remember the Words spoken beforehand

by the holy prophets

and the commandment of the LORD and Savior

spoken by your apostles.

People have forgotten the world was created by the Word of God.  People have forgotten the world was destroyed by water.  People have forgotten what God spoke about a future judgment.  People have forgotten the Word of God; they make fun of the Word of God, and they distort the Word of God to their own destruction.

Peter knew people had a tendency to forget, so he wanted to stir up the minds of his readers by way of reminder. Even when Peter was absent from this Earth, he wanted people to remember God’s Word. 

When God had Peter pen these Words, He knew you would be reading them today and your mind would be stirred.  Take God’s Word to heart, and do not be disheartened by the mockers and false teachers of your day.  Their destruction is coming; therefore, what sort of person ought you to be in holy conduct and Godliness (2 Peter 3:11)?

Pray 2 Peter 3:14 and 17-18 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, make ________ and me diligent

to be found by You in peace, spotless and blameless.

Help us to be on our guard

not to be carried away by the error of unprincipled men. 

Do not let us fall away from our steadfastness.

Let us grow in the grace and knowledge of You,

our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.

To You, Jesus, be the glory,

both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”
