2 Peter 3 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read 2 Peter 3.

Meditate on verses 3-4a and 10.

 

Know this first of all, that in the last days

 mockers will come with their mocking, following

 after their own lusts, and saying,

 "Where is the promise of His coming?”

 But the day of the LORD will come like a thief, in

which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the

elements will be destroyed with intense heat,

and the earth and its works will be burned up.

 

What a sobering chapter describing the Day of LORD—the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly and the day of new heavens and a new earth for the righteous (vs. 7, 10, 12).  God promises the day is coming; therefore, how should we live today?  Live your life investing in the eternal—people and God’s Word.  Diligently share the Word of God with others, praying they will choose God’s salvation and not be destroyed.

 

Pray 2 Peter 3:11-12a, 14, and 18 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, make _________ and me people

 of holy conduct and Godliness,

looking for and hastening the coming

 of Your day, God.  May we be

 diligent to be found by You in peace,

 spotless and blameless.  Let us grow

 in the grace and knowledge of You,

 our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. 

To You be the glory, both now

and to the day of eternity.  Amen.”
