| Monday 2 Peter 1:3 As I know You, Jesus, better, Your divine power gives me everything I need for living a godly life. You have called me to receive Your own glory and goodness! Tuesday 2 Peter 1:4 And by that same mighty power, You have given me all of Your rich and wonderful promises. You have promised that I will escape the decadence all around me caused by evil desires and that I will share in Your divine nature. Wednesday 2 Peter 1:5 So I make every effort to apply the benefits of these promises to my life. Then my faith will produce a life of moral excellence. A life of moral excellence leads to knowing You, God, better. Thursday 2 Peter 1:6 Knowing You, God, leads to self-control. Self-control leads to patient endurance, and patient endurance leads to godliness. Friday 2 Peter 1:7 Godliness leads to love for other Christians, and finally I will grow to have genuine love for everyone. Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers 4591.
