Prayer tonight for Alpha in TC thinking of how God intercedes on our behalf, was drawn to Only A Prayer Meeting by Charles Spurgeon after reviewing Prayer Tool: How to Run a Non-boring Prayer Meeting from prayercourse.org/toolshed/ continuing my 40days, brought me to the familiar passage: 2 Peter 1:5-11 that I've written in my work journal to remind myself of the character I'm working toward developing. I like meditating on multiple verses that link and expand on an idea and then reading it in multiple translations for Example: Eph 2:7-10,2 Peter 1:5-11 version=NLT;AMP;MSG
In view of all this (Eph 2:7-10), make every effort to respond to God’s promises (2 Peter 1:5-11);
- Complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others.
- I like how the Amplified Version defines Christian Love in verse 7) and in your godliness, brotherly affection, and in your brotherly affection, [develop Christian] love [that is, learn to unselfishly seek the best for others and to do things for their benefit].
- Today is building on yesterday's lesson: Sign of Jonah - Listen and repent for salvation and receive true Light (Luke 11:29-36)
- 8-9) For as these qualities are yours and are increasing [in you as you grow toward spiritual maturity], they will keep you from being useless and unproductive in regard to the true knowledge and greater understanding of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is blind—shortsighted [closing his spiritual eyes to the truth], having become oblivious to the fact that he was cleansed from his old sins.
- So, friends, confirm God’s invitation to you, his choice of you. Don’t put it off; do it now. Do this, and you’ll have your life on a firm footing, the streets paved and the way wide open into the eternal kingdom of our Master and Savior, Jesus Christ.
