Old Words for a New Day
Scripture – 2 Peter 3:1-2: 1Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. 2I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
Reflection: The older I get in my walk with Christ, the more I find myself remembering basic lessons and truths. In fact, much of my spiritual growth is essentially recalling what I already know. I just have to remember the Biblical promises God has given and trust Him to keep His word.
The Bible stories many of us learned as kids continue to come alive in new ways. Whether from the Old Testament or the New, the stories remind me of who I am and who Christ sees when He looks into me.
So I keep reading and re-reading the Bible. I keep bringing fresh eyes and openness when I read the words preserved for all these centuries. I keep finding myself stimulated to wholesome and new ways of thinking.
What Biblical reminders have special meaning for you? What do you need to recall today? How will you let what you already know about Jesus shape your life this day?
An Invitation: A small group will be meeting this coming Sunday morning from 9:45 – 10:30am to share what we’ve learned and seen in this week’s readings. We meet in the Pastor’s office at Bethel Baptist Church, 13330 Trenton Road in Southgate. Everyone’s welcome to join us.
