Read this - I did! This morning in my devotion time, I read the book of 1 Peter. It's real short only 5 chapters, but WOW!!!! The book is full of spiritual meat! Although I have read it many times before, today it came alive to me. It was like God sat right next to me and told me many things that he wanted me to know. At the end of my quiet time I prayed and thanked the Lord for his Word and for revealing his truth to my heart. I want to encourage you to sit down and read the book 1 Peter. When you do, grab a notebook and pen and take notes of all the things God says to your heart and mind in these 5 short chapters. The whole book is full of advice that the Apostle Peter gives to us Christians about life and our duties. He touches on subjects like: the requirements of holiness, submission to authority, suffering for Christ, and the way we should act as young Christians. I really encourage you to read it and then hit me back on myspace at myspace.com/abryant72 and tell me which passage from the book that really spoke to your heart. I'll start with a passage that just hit me between the eyes: 1 Peter 1:13-16 "13 So prepare your minds for service and have self-control. All your hope should be for the gift of grace that will be yours when Jesus Christ is shown to you. 14 Now that you are obedient children of God do not live as you did in the past. You did not understand, so you did the evil things you wanted. 15 But be holy in all you do, just as God, the One who called you, is holy. 16 It is written in the Scriptures: "You must be holy, because I am holy." I want to underline all the good parts of this passage, but I can't because it's all good. Read it again, prepare you minds for service and have self control. All your hopes should be in Christ. You are obedient children of God so live like it. Don't live like you did before you knew Christ, when you sinned at will. But live a holy and acceptable life to Christ. He's holy so you should be too. Deep stuff!!! Please, do yourself a favor and READ 1 Peter! Word... P. Alex PS.
