2 Peter 3:17, 18
“You already know these things, dear friends. So be on guard; then you will not be carried away by the errors of these wicked people and lose your own secure footing. Rather, you must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All glory to him, both now and forever! Amen.” (NLT)

“But you, friends, are well-warned. Be on guard lest you lose your footing and get swept off your feet by these lawless and loose-talking teachers. Grow in grace and understanding of our Master and Savior, Jesus Christ. Glory to the Master, now and forever! Yes!” (MSG)

The Apostle Peter sums up his life and teaching with simple instructions. Live what you say you believe. Grow in the grace of Jesus and the experiential knowledge of his nature and commission.

Old Saint Pete compared Jesus and the false teachers who maliciously misrepresented him. Peter never got over that day on the mountain when Jesus was transfigured before him. He saw who Jesus truly is. He saw him in all his glory. He saw Moses and Elijah. He heard God’s voice.

That experience completely reoriented Peter. Walking on water was fun and games. Seeing Jesus completely revealed as who he was gave ever-greater weight to his words, ever-deeper meaning to his actions, and ever-fuller meaning for the remaining days of Peter’s life.

Peter uses this book to help us see Jesus through his eyes. He invites us to come to know Jesus the way he did. More than words of truth and life, more than daily kindness in his name, Peter wants us to know the good, good grace of Jesus. He wants us to know the incomparable glory of Jesus.

Never settle for false teaching. Never settle for short-term, feel-good events. Know the truth. Align your life with it. Attune your heart to it. Experience Jesus.

I will grow daily in the grace and knowledge of Jesus.

Our Father, grow me in grace. Grow me in knowledge. Grow me in purposeful living. Amen.

Daily D – Psalm 113:3

Psalm 113:3 From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the LORD is to be praised.

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-5

Psalm 112:4, 5
Even in darkness light dawns for the upright,
for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.
Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,
who conduct their affairs with justice.

Daily D – Isaiah 6:1-7

Isaiah 6:1-7 “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”

At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.”

Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

Daily D – Isaiah 1:18

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,”
says the LORD.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.”

Daily D – 2 Kings 25:27-30

2 Kings 25:27-30 In the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the year Awel-Marduk became king of Babylon, he released Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. He did this on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth month. He spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon. So Jehoiachin put aside his prison clothes and for the rest of his life ate regularly at the king’s table. Day by day the king gave Jehoiachin a regular allowance as long as he lived.
