Affirmation Monday – 2 Peter 1: 3-4

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

Escape

If 2 Peter were a car, it would be one where the driver has stomped on the gas and when the engine has redlined, popped the clutch. The result is a very high-speed start.

Peter has barely said, “Hello!” before he dives into the essentials of Christian living. His first words are brassy, powerful, and encouraging. “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life…”

Wow.

It is easy to take our eye off of the ball (and of Scripture) and lose sight of this truth. We have everything we need for a godly life.

So what do we need?

Affirmation Monday – Philippians 4:19

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

This week we begin a new phase of ThreeMinuteBible.com. We have completed the Gospel of John and instead of beginning a new book study, I am going to mix it up a little. Henceforth (or until such time as I change my mind… 🙂 ) Mondays at Three Minute Bible will be known as Affirmation Monday. Let’s face it, Mondays are hard enough to face as it is. Who couldn’t use a little encouragement and affirmation on Monday?
