A Work In Progress
(Part 2 of Four)
Peter begins a “strength to strength” progression of Yah's care in 1: 5 of his second epistle with, “giving all diligence…” When we take special care to subordinate our will to YAH’s direction and live in harmony with our brother we begin to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Yeshua the Messiah”, as Peter wrote in 3: 18 of the same letter. When we willingly place our selves in the expert care of our Master Shepherd, we begin to adorn our selves in His excellence.
In this diligence, we “add to (our) faith virtue”. We choose the purity of His ways rather than the ever-shifting sands of our ways. We don’t conform to the world; we allow our selves to be “transformed by the renewing of (our) mind”, as Paul wrote to the Romans in 12: 2. With just the right amount of friction and resistance allowed by our Lord, we add strength of virtue to strength of obedient faith.
Our shepherd king, David, sang in Psalms 25: 4-5, “Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day”.
