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~”
