Ho-Hum or DIVINE

DIVINE.  We often use the word casually. “This cake is divine!” Or, “It was a divine vacation.” However, 2 Peter 1:3-4 uses “divine” in relation to God’s power and nature. “His DIVINE power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the DIVINE nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.”  These are incredible truths for us to grasp. Christ’s DIVINE power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness!  Christ has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises so that by them we may become partakers of the DIVINE NATURE.  It isn’t God’s intention that we live a ho-hum or defeated life. Far from it. He’s GIVEN US His DIVINE NATURE, POWER, and PROMISES. Are we living by them? 

Lord Jesus, You are DIVINE power and life.  Thank You for Your precious and magnificent promises by which we become partakers of Your divine nature.  We worship and adore You!
