Today’s scripture: 2 Peter 2:12-16
My goodness … I think Peter had some pretty strong opinions about false
prophets and willful sinners!
It would be easy to say, “Well, they’ll get what they deserve.” But really?
Verses like these should break our hearts. Generation after generation of sin
and corruption have so infiltrated the hearts of men and women, they don’t know
how far they have fallen from God’s ideal. And like “unreasoning animals,” they
follow their baser instincts and “revel” in their sin.
They don’t know truth.
This should make those of us who know truth want to share it wherever and with
whomever we can. We should boldly and lovingly proclaim God’s grace and mercy.
We should joyfully tell how God has blessed us. We should shine the love of
Jesus—not judging, not criticizing, not thinking we’re any better than anyone
else.
Does your heart break for the lost? For those who seek something, and try to
fill the empty spaces of their hearts with drugs or alcohol or sensuality? Oh,
pray for God to break your heart and to give you boldness and love to share Him
and the amazing grace He offers.
