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
forget the world was created by the Word of God. People forget the world was
destroyed by water. People forget what God spoke about a future judgment.
People forget 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. 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~”
