2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV)
1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 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.
How wonderful this passage of Scripture really is! It brings us good news and blessings of Peace. It speaks of how we should be diligent and patient, waiting on God's will. We can't expect everything to happen when we would like for them to happen. In life, God knows Best. We have to be willing to ask God for things we want or need. God said He would supply everything if we only ask. This passage proves that in more ways than just one. WE must seek to find knowledge by reading His Word and by shinning our lights for all to see.
Pray with us--Lord, help me to be studious in your Word and to be patient and diligent in waiting on Your Promises. Help me remember that all things will work together for my good. IN Jesus Sweet Name, Amen.
