But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

2 Peter 3

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. v17

As Peter continues to warn us against the dangers of false teachers, once again he encourages us to grow in our faith.  We must be ready, and we must be productive in the use of our gifts.  Our growth in Christ will better arm us to protect ourselves from the dark forces of Satan.

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an incredible God who encourages, teaches, protects...and who is full of patience, compassion, mercy, etc.  Thank You Jesus.  I am not worth such love.  I am often weak and insecure in my faith.  Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome my sin and turn towards You.  Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind,  and love others as You do.  Help me grow in my faith.  Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo.  Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior.  Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others.  Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
