Take Root #26
Day 26
2 Peter 1:5-9
5 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in
your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral
excellence, knowledge, 6 and in your knowledge, self-control,
and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, 7 and
in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly
kindness, love. 8 For if these qualities are
yours and are increasing, they do not make you useless nor unproductive in
the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For
the one who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted,
having forgotten his purification from his former sins.
Because
we have escaped corruption, we can build something…diligently pursue moral
excellence, grow in knowledge, let that knowledge control your behavior, and
let that knowledge make you tenacious. This tenacity will lead to godliness,
kindness and finally love. Never be satisfied always chase holiness.
Unless
you are growing in this direction you cannot be used to build the Kingdom. And
the only reason you would not be growing like this is that you have forgotten
what God did for you - and forgotten that it is your job to be available and
growing so God can do the same for others.
Run
to the battle – look for opportunities to engage in the spreading of the
gospel.
