Peter the Apostle shared many things with his followers and subsequent readers in his old age. I see the man of youth who was strong, spontaneous and ready to take the sword to that which opposed them. In 2 Peter 1:1 Peter shares of the united precious faith given by the Lord Jesus Christ. vs. 2 he shares the grace and peace that he prays will be added to the believer along with the divine knowledge of Holy and Spiritual things. He encourages each of us to press forward to the exceeding great and precious promises of God that help us to partake of the divine nature because of and helping us to escape the corruption in this world. What a change that took place in Peter's life from the day Jesus called the fisherman to become a follower until the day he would follow Christ in death. In his latter years he was still strong but he had changed quite a lot. He now walked in humility and great concern for the believer thus he encouraged each to grow in faith and partake of the great and precious promises of God.
Likewise we are encourage to pursue after these great and precious promises of God thereby we are enabled to escape the corruption of this world. If we will work half as hard in following after Christ as we do in trying to do things right we will get farther, quicker because God helps us and strengthens us to do what we need to do in and for Him.
Pursue after Christ and the Word. Pray for a fresh infilling of His Spirit who helps us accomplish what God wants in our lives. You will be blessed beyond your greates dreams.
God bless and may it happen for you.
