Day 30: Grow in Grace
But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. –2 Peter 3:18
The alternative to the but in this verse is found in 2 Peter 3:17. There we are encouraged to not listen to the Scripture twisters who will carry us into error. This will cause us to lose our stability. Rightly handling God’s word is the way that we “grow in grace and knowledge of Christ”. This in turn will give us homes of stability. But God’s Word is sometimes difficult to understand, so we have to pray for the Spirit to illumine God’s Word to us. Our home will either be saturated by grace or filled with error. With the internet, social media, television, and endless streaming we have many avenues within our own homes to saturate us with error. Let us pray today that God will give us the grace to sift through the smut and to be anchored in His Word.
Father, we are desperate for you to keep us from the error we are so prone to follow. You have given us hearts which long for the truth, help us listen to you and trust your ways over our own wisdom. Give us the strength to turn off sources of error that permeate our home. Give us homes saturated with grace and growing in the knowledge of Christ. Amen.
