Daily Bread – October 7, 2022 (The Sixth Day – Genesis 1:24-31) 2 Peter 1:10 – On account of this brethren, instead be diligent to make your calling and election sure; for doing these things, you shall never stumble. The Divine Power Of Godliness To Never Stumble We live in a day where wickedness is more prevalent and more endorsed – yes, even encouraged by society – than ever before. Everywhere we turn, there are those things that would draw us away from the faith, virtue, and godliness Peter refers to in verses 5-9. Therefore, all the more, we must give ourselves to the holiness that Peter preached in his first Epistle, and the fear and holy conversation he will conclude with in this Epistle (1 Peter 1:15-16, 2:5,9; 2 Peter 3:11; Thessalonians 3:13; Revelation 22:11). If we should so give our hearts and minds to these things that are pleasing our heavenly Father, then we can be certain He will provide us with the supernatural strength and divine power of godliness to never stumble – much less fall (Jude 1:24; Ephesians 3:20; Colossians 1:21-22; Philippians 2:13).
