DEVOTION:  2 Peter 1:16-21  English Standard Version (ESV)

Christ's Glory and the Prophetic Word

¹⁶ For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. ¹⁷ For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son,^[a] with whom I am well pleased," ¹⁸ we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain. ¹⁹ And we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts, ²⁰ knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone's own interpretation. ²¹ For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

 

This stuff isn't made up folks.  Cleverly invented myths don't last 2,000 years. A book that is full of half truths and made up stories doesn't remain the number one selling book of all time.  IT IS REAL!!  IT IS TRUE!!  It is ALL GOD'S WORD GIVEN TO YOU!

Stop living as if it isn't.  Stop neglecting God's Word in your life.  Stop living your life as if God doesn't really exist.  HE DOES!  And Get your rear end to worship this weekend so the Holy Spirit can use it to change your life, grow you in faith, and give you real peace and rest!! 

That's it!

 

Prayer: Lord, thank you for your real, true, life changing, Spirit filling, rest giving Word.  Amen.
