Practice

"We ourselves heard this very voice," 2 Peter 1:18.

Peter writes of his experience here. Whose voice did he hear? The voice of God's own Greatest Glory, out of the sky. What did that voice say? This is my son, I love him very much. Of whom did that voice speak? Of Jesus. What did Peter (and the others with him) see with their very eyes? They saw Jesus shining bright, getting honor and glory up on the mountain. (You had to be there to witness the awe-ful thing.) So what? So. The power of God's divinity has granted us a share in the nature of divinity. What?! Say again?! Yep. So. We become fellows in the divine nature. Providing. (Providing?) Providing we practice. Practice what? Practice the qualities of godlikeness diligently. Faith, virtue, self-control, and stuff like that. Love. Yep. The practice keeps us never to fall. The practice makes our calling and election sure. The practice provides a rich entrance into the kingdom.

We visit with a brother or sister today and share God's message about Jesus. And, together, we give thanks that the Lord Jesus shares his kingdom with us.
