Today’s Scripture

“So, my beloved friends, with all that you have to look forward to, may you be eager to be found living pure lives when you come into his presence, without blemish and filled with peace. And keep in mind that our Lord’s extraordinary patience simply means more opportunity for salvation, just as our dear brother Paul wrote to you with the wisdom that God gave him. He consistently speaks of these things in all of his letters, even though he writes some concepts that are overwhelming to our understanding, which the unlearned and unstable love to twist to their spiritual ruin, as they do to other Scriptures. As for you, divinely loved ones, since you are forewarned of these things, be careful that you are not led astray by the error of the lawless and lose your firm grip on the truth. But continue to grow and increase in God’s grace and intimacy with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May he receive all the glory both now and until the day eternity begins. Amen!”             

2 Peter 3:14-18

Today’s Thought 

Keep a firm grip on the truth and it will lead you to God’s best for your life… Hold on to the truth of God’s Word, no matter what you are facing… They have the power and strength to guide you through life, and through every battle you will face in the earth.

Today’s Confession 

Father God, thank you for the truth of your Word in the midst of the craziness in the world today. No matter what happens, I have your Word to keep me centered and balanced. It gives me strength to overcome all the wiles of the enemy. Your love surrounds me and gives me peace.
