Add to Your Faith

The snow is falling and blowing all around. The promise is that the wind will turn bitterly cold; the temperature falling to the single digits. I am encouraged and warmed by what I read last night; a goal and a promise:

2 Peter 1:5-11

"And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ."

You see, we should all be in a constant reforming of ourselves...not that we can save ourselves, but that we can strive to please God and can do so when we follow His word. It is so full of promises. Hold your cup out and God will fill it.
