1 Peter | Ch. 2
From Daniel's Desk on 5/1/19
My Title: YOU Have Been Called - Never Look Back!
My Verse: 16
"Live as a people who are FREE, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God."
My Response:
God created you with a purpose in mind, but to think that He created you because He needed you would be a mistake. He wants to love you and for you to be loved by Him for His good pleasure. - He created you with a HOLY purpose in mind... a purpose your flesh will war against because you want to be your own God.
The longer you fight Him the longer you will miss out on all that He has for you in a relationship with Him. Jump in and don't look back. Don't. Look. Back. Not even for a moment. Get busy growing and looking for where He is at work. Join Him in what He is doing an you'll get to experience the Creator in you and moving through you to create fruit! Entertaining your heart will only serve to distract you and slow you down.
My Notes:
Put away the stuff of babies. Long spiritual meat!
Get moving! If you've tasted that the Lord is good, THEN GROW!
Look for those THIRSTY! God is at work, just join Him in what He is doing!
You are a precious stone to God (even though you will be rejected by man) used to build up a spiritual house.
One stone doesn't make a house.
The honor is for those who believe.
To those who don't believe - Jesus is a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.
You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession.
He is writing to the Jews.
That YOU may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.
Abstain from the passion of the flesh!
They wage war against your soul.
