Verse of the Day

Make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to
gooodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to
self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and
to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness,
love. 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.
--2 Peter 1:5-8
New International Version

THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
Wow! What a message. God wants us to be productive in our
lives. He wants us to have more than just head knowledge. He
wants us to put it to work in our lives and be effective and
productive with it. But, I've got to put out some effort and
try to grow in these qualities. Peter is saying, "Okay folks,
God wants you to get after it and make a difference through
your life!" I'm ready! Let's begin today.


MY PRAYER...
Holy God, I am going to put out the effort to grow in your
grace. Please bless my efforts and receive them as my
heartfelt appreciation for loving me when I was unlovable and
redeeming me when I was lost. I want to be productive to your
glory in my life with Jesus, through whom I pray. Amen.
