Here are my thoughts and highlights from II Peter as I continue my journey through the Bible:

  • "So don’t lose a minute in building on what you’ve been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others." My prayer is that my interactions with others always reflect this type of character…even with people that are hard for me to like.
  • "Better not to have started out on the straight road to God than to start out and then turn back." In other words, God cares more about what direction I’m heading rather than where I’ve been.
  • God wants me to stay focused on him and the mission he’s called me to live out. "Hold your minds in a state of undistracted attention."
  • God "doesn’t want anyone lost. He’s giving everyone space and time to change." That, unfortunately, suggests not everyone will turn their hearts toward God. But, it’s encouraging to know his desire is that no one will be lost. God’s love and forgiveness is for everyone who will receive it.
  • "Do your very best to be found living at your best, in purity and peace."
