Reading for Today - II Peter 1:1-4 - His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness
2 Peter 1:1-4 (ESV)
Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
What we need is found in God. Peter writes, “His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness.” Truly, in Christ we have “precious and very great promises”. How great it is to be in Christ. May we put our desires on things above and seek the true knowledge that can only be found in God’s word.
