2 Peter 1-3
What God said to me – Very few people today are diligent in anything -not in their jobs – not in their families – not even in the care of their own bodies. If you truly want to grow in grace and the knowledge of Me, diligence is required. You must start with diligence in maintaining this time with Me and being in My word. No godliness can become evident in your life apart from time with Me and My word. You’ve got to apply all diligence in making this a priority. The character qualities that grow out of this time are necessary for you to walk in a manner worthy of your calling. The ability to discern and avoid destructive heresies come from diligence in spending time with Me and My word. You must constantly be on guard and disciplined or the cares of day-to-day life will flow in and you’ll push this time aside. Apply all diligence and you will grow in grace and be pleasing to Me.
