Embracing the Divine Nature
As believers, we’re often reminded that God created us in His image, instilling within us a deep longing to reflect His character and holiness. This profound truth is reinforced in 2 Peter 1:4, where we’re told that God has given us “great and precious promises” to enable us to participate in His divine nature.
The Promise of Transformation
Through these promises, we’re assured that we’ll be made ready for Jesus’ return. But what does it mean to participate in the divine nature? It means surrendering our lives to God, committing to follow Him wholeheartedly, and trusting in His transformative power. As we do so, we’ll begin to reflect His character, and our lives will be marked by an unwavering commitment to holiness.
A Prayer for Protection
As we embark on this journey of transformation, we must also recognize the corrupting influence of evil desires that seek to distract us from our pursuit of God. Let us pray, therefore, that our hearts may be protected from corruption, and that we may remain steadfast in our commitment to follow Jesus.
A Heartfelt Prayer
Almighty God, my Everlasting Fortress, I thank you for the precious promises you’ve given me. I long to know you more fully, to see your face today, just as I believe I will one day. Please protect me and my heart from the corrupting influences of this world. In all love and appreciation, I pray in the name of Jesus, the One who made me yours. Amen.
