Fantastic Friday #276- Perserverance

Perseverance

3 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. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins. 2 Peter 1:3-9

As people on this earth do you ever find yourself thinking you are a powerful individual? What makes you powerful or think that you are powerful? Our minds can be caught in our world that tells us that with money comes power, or being larger than life/famous is powerful, or having a ton of followers can give you power. But looking at the above scripture, only the Lord has Divine Power, and through that power He gives us those promises when we have faith in Him and persevere. It is interesting how God shows that through His power we can increase our knowledge of Him and be productive. When you are productive we are powerful through Him and can show others where the true power lives. Persevere my dear friends, persevere.

Have a great weekend.
