10.20.21 | In Increasing Measure
In today’s BREAD reading from Peter’s second letter, he writes:
“Make every effort to add to your faith, goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
For today’s Fasting & Prayer Focus, begin your time by reading 2 Peter 1:4-9, and meditate on verses 5-8.
- What stands out to you?
- Which word connects with you and your current circumstances?
- In what ways is God inviting you to grow in these characteristics and virtues?
Spend time reflecting on what stood out to you, and what it could mean for your life to grow in that area.
For the remainder of your time, reflect on what areas of your life God is challenging you to grow in. How can you put that into practice today or this week? Bring this all before God, and listen to what He has to say.
