Today’s Devotional Theme
Increase God's Way
Daily Scripture
2 Peter 1:2
“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.”
Encouragement
Today we will once again look at the topic of increasing grace. Peter adds a word in his writing that Paul omits from yesterday’s text. He adds the word peace along with grace. Not really too surprising. Peace is a product of our faith in God. As His grace increases in our lives, I believe our peace increases proportionately. Then Peter refers to two additional words: life and Godliness. At the heart of Godly living and a spiritually transformed life is an attitude of reverence toward God and a willingness to live in obedience to His commands.
Apply God’s Word
This week, we are following up with our devotionals on the sermon from Sunday. In the message Sunday we looked at how to live a simple life that has little clutter. Clutter is equal to confusion, and if we are dealing with a lot of confusion in our life then we may need to look closely at whether or not we are living a life that honors God. Honoring God is showing Him reverence in our daily affairs. We need His instruction on how to simplify our life so we are not so overwhelmed that we cannot fulfill our calling to expand His Kingdom.
Come into His Presence
Father, I think it’s time to look closely at my attitude and actions. If my life is confused, then help me to reduce the clutter so I can have the time needed to do the things You have called me to do. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.
