Practice Makes Perfect - Escaping Worldliness

Practice Makes Perfect - Escaping Worldliness

Tucked away in the very back part of the Bible is the little, three-chapter book known as Second Peter. Most people have never taken the time to read it but there are some real gems to be found there.

In the first chapter, we read a statement that is so bold and startling that we almost skip right over it without realizing what we just read. Peter writes:

2 Peter 1:10

“...for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble.”

Wait a minute. Did I read that right? Did Peter say that he has a formula that can keep me from stumbling as a Christian? My life is full of stumbles. A moment of lust here... a little lie there... hurtful comments... broken promises... how can I get past those recurring struggles in living out my faith?

Over the next few days, let’s take a few moments each day to look at Peter’s plan and see if there is something we have been missing all this time.

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
