Re:Verse passage – 2 Peter 2:17-22 (day five)
“These people are as useless as dried-up springs or as mist blown away by the wind. They are doomed to blackest darkness.” 2 Peter 2:17 NLT
Don’t you just love Pastor Peter’s heart? We see that fiery emotional personality that first appeared in the gospels. Early as he just started following Christ, Peter was always ready to jump out, call out, and leave out- impetuous, reactive, and often uninformed. “Ready, Fire, Aim!!”
Yet God has redeemed his will, his heart, and his emotions. So that Peter’s passion and energy are used for God’s glory and effective ministry. Instead of being just an attacker, Peter is now also a protector. He is looking out for these new christians. He is caring for them as they begin to grow in the gospel. His attention is on both the false/fake teachers as well as the vulnerable christians. God has grown and shaped Peter’s heart and life. May The Spirit do that same refining work in us that we might be honed and shaped for service and ministry in the Kingdom of God!!
