Today’s Scripture: 2 Peter 1:9 ESV: For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.
I am thankful that Peter was committed to reminding us of the vision Christ had for us. In 2 Peter he reminded us we must keep our eyes on the qualities of God.
You and I can help remind each other of these qualities daily. We are to have faith. To our faith we are to add virtue. We are to continue increasing our knowledge and implementing self control. We are to be persistent in seeking godliness while showing affection and love for everyone.
I need daily wake up calls and reminders to look towards these qualities of God and to be reminded of what Jesus Christ did for me. God provided His Word and His servants to remind us how worldly cares can enslave us and blind us to the qualities that truly matter.
Do you have things that make you so nearsighted you are blind? I do. Let us look to God today.
Today’s Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word and Your servants that remind us of the qualities You created us to possess. LORD, I know You know how we are to do this. You know how we can fulfill Your calling and Your qualities. Help me to look beyond my circumstances to see You always. Amen
