Through Suffering, Day 22

Written to us. Read 2 Peter 1:1-2.

As we continue on to the second letter that Peter wrote, we find his introduction and these two short verses. Interestingly, we can understand that this book was written to us. Certainly there were other believers at that time who would have received it first, but as we look at the people that he addressed the letter to, we have to recognize that we are included there. We are those who have also found the saving grace of Jesus Christ. We can take what is written in this letter as a message to each and every one of us.

How do we receive instruction? Are we open to feedback? These are the questions to ponder as we look at the next several days through the book of second Peter. We are to be open to all that Peter has to share with us through the leading of the Holy Spirit.
