My people, I do not want you to remain immature. When you find that My proclamations about Christ seem impossible to reconcile with your life and the culture that you live in, know that I seek a willing response from you. As you approach Me with a heart to learn, fearless to believe that I am a good God, then you will start (or restart) the journey of knowing more of My character. Your trust in Me will not be forsaken.
Vocalise hard questions to Me and Godly others who love My logos word, for that, linked with your determination not to run away from life’s difficulties, is what I am looking for. Let your deliberations lead to obedience, for as you chew these things over, I will reveal myself through My Spirit.
I have already given you the capacity to face the world. You will not be overcome. I call you to an abundant life of getting to know Me and rightly handling My Word.
Activation: Think of one question that you have on your heart. Are you willing to discuss it with another Christian? Be willing to be open with another person of God’s leading to begin some healthy ‘chewing’. Set a time aside to have that conversation.
3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,
4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the [a]corruption that is in the world through lust.
2 Peter 1:3-4 (NKJV)

5 But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge,
6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control [a]perseverance, to perseverance godliness,
7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither [b]barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
