The Second week of Advent
Are you more concerned about climate change or the second coming?
S- Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, what holy and godly lives you should live, looking forward to the day of God and hurrying it along. On that day, he will set the heavens on fire, and the elements will melt away in the flames. But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness. 2 Pet. 3:11-13
O- Peter prepares his readers for the future that Jesus said will happen. When Jesus decrees something, it will happen. There are people consumed with saving the earth and changing everyone else’s behavior to hopefully make an impact. The earth’s destruction will happen, not by us, but the hand of Jesus. The change we need to make is repentance and trusting in Jesus which guarantees our future.
A- I will continue to trust in Jesus for my salvation and future. I will adjust my life to his will and his plans.
P- Righteous judge, you are good and merciful. Your judgments are right, faithful, and good for me. I’m thankful that you hold the future in your hands and life is worth living because you do. Empower me to live for you and not myself, having an eternal impact on those around me. Amen.
S- J, A, S
