Read More »Good day! Today we are going to have fun together. These heartfelt words from Peter are potent enough to change your life forever. The word of God is living and active. One of my prayers for you is that you would learn to love the Bible. I am not so much meaning in a scholarly way, but in a rich, spiritual way. Each time you open the Bible and seek the heart of God, He wants to speak into your life. Holy Spirit, we invite you now to come and lead us into truth. Help us discover the happiness and joy that comes from friendship with you. Fill our hearts today with HOPE in you. Peter is not going to let us get away from this whole subject of suffering. I kind of want to move on, but he keeps bringing it back up. He is holding the line for us. God has called us not to merely be good, but to do good. Jesus cares about the fruit of our lives! One component of the fruit of the Spirit is goodness. The more we walk with Jesus, the more good we do. Recently, I have been having something weird happen to me. I’ll look at a picture of myself or look at myself in the mirror and think, “Do I really look that old?” Stacie sometimes will remind me that the mirror is not lying, but then she tells me she likes my salt and pepper and thinks I look better at 39 than I did at 19. I’ll take it! But I am getting older and actually I think I’m looking more like my dad—more like I remember my dad looking when I was in high school. There is something hardwired in the genetic disposition that is aging me and making me look different. So many people try to fight that progression, but I think it’s better just to embrace reality. Yes, let’s work out, eat healthy, and take care of ourselves, however..

Read More »Peter brings us back to Jesus and reminds us of the things we don’t have to carry anymore. As we walk this road, we no longer have the weight of our sin. Our sins were already carried and nailed to a cross. We once were wanderers, but now we’re following in His steps, which keep us pointed in the direction of HOPE. I am struck by this last label Peter gives Jesus: “Your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.” Peter would have grown up quoting Psalm 23! “The Lord is my shepherd. I have all I need. He makes me lay down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me along paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil. For you are with me” (NKJV). For you are with me! The Good Shepherd, the Guardian of your soul is with you, perhaps carrying you a whole lot more than you realize. He suffered for you, and because of that He is more than enough to sustain you. Dear friend, He suffered for you! If Jesus had had to endure the cross for only one person, He would have. He would have done it for you. He loves you today, and He is wanting you to enter into His guardianship like never before. He’s such a good friend. He’s so kind. He’s not a distant God. He is an ever-present help in times of trouble. Because the Good Shepherd has you in His care, you can do GOOD today! Right now, would you ask Him to show you how to live in His steps? Ask Him to show you where you are going astray and invite Him to sustain you in the midst of whatever trial you’re facing right now.
