And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; — 2 Peter 1:5

Wow! What a point. God wants us to use our lives to do good things. He doesn’t want us to just know things in our heads; he wants us to use what we know and be effective and productive with it. But I have to put in some work and try to get better at these things. Peter is saying, “All right, people, God wants you to get going and make a difference with your lives!” I’m all set! Let’s start now.

Prayer

Holy God, I will make an effort to grow in your grace. Please bless my efforts and take them as my sincere thanks for loving me when I wasn’t worth loving and saving me when I was lost. I want my life with Jesus to be useful for your glory. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
