Knowledge of God ~ Part 2
2 Peter 1
2 May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3 His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him f who called us to [3] his own glory and excellence, [4] 4 by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become g partakers of the divine nature, h having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
As we can see the gift of power and the key to overcome the sinful nature is through knowing God personally. When we begin to know His ways, His face, we begin to grow in His glory and excellence. Who is this one that you want to know? What does He look like? What does He feel like? What is the way that he does things? Who is this one who is unseen? Peter points out here that this God is the one of glory and virtue, it is the character of God--goodness, love, kindness, endurance, joy, peace, faithfulness, etc. We are to know Him day after day, we are to hear His sweat voice and bring him praise and thanksgiving.
I was sitting in my chair after a long busy day. The warfare is intense, I was downcast. But I wait in HIs presence. The Lord reminded me this morning God spoke grace into my mind, when I wake up at 5:55. Everything we have, every good things in our lives, the bible says come from our Heavenly Father. Do you know Him as a loving Father? I begin to look beyond the difficult circumstances and begin to see the glory of my shepherd, who leads me in goodness and tenderness. I gave thanks, with heart overwhelmed with thankfulness in a seemingly dreadful day. The Lord revealed the reason why, I needed to wait for my teacher for 10 mins on the hallway, was because I would be the first one to see the teacher, others can't wait for 5 and they left. I see His goodness in school, when the office was closed, the Lord provided a random person knocking on the office until someone came out, and I turned my application on time. The Lord only allowed 2 students to come out of 5 to the bible study, and the one person had just received what he needed the most -- His love. He is good. It is through this knowledge of Him, I begin to overcome the world. I know the way He does things, He is always good and kind to me. I can begin to look to tomorrow and have faith that He is gonna showed up. God is good, He cannot be anything else but goodness, because that's who He is.
