Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith as precious as ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ: May grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything needed for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Thus he has given us, through these things, his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may escape from the corruption that is in the world because of lust, and may become participants of the divine nature. (2 Peter 1:1-4, NRSV)
What is precious?
An interesting thought and this should always be done with a little hesitancy is a Google search for images on a word…
Precious is gold and silver. Gems are precious… shiny things worth lots of money…
Is that what is truly precious though?
The thing that is truly precious is the thing we value most highly.
What are the top five things you don’t want to lose?
Are any of them money?
My list is (not in any particular order) wife, daughters, family, God, faith…
I can be completely broke monetarily, but I am a rich rich man, because of the love of my family and how God has blessed me.
So keep what is precious close to you and allow the world to have the rest. Showing them the love God gave you!
