The scripture we are reciting together for meditation today is from the New Testament book of 2 Peter 3:13. This is the Apostle Peter's second and final letter to the churches in the New Testament. Knowing that he would be martyred for the Lord, Peter wrote this letter as a reminder to inspire believers to be honest, to remember the prophecies of the prophets and the commands of the Savior, and to prepare believers to beware of false teachers and scoffers in the last days. The Lord "has given precious and great promises" to believers who are justified by faith. Pray that the Lord would give us precious faith through today's scriptures, and that we would work diligently for Him with hope before His day comes. (translation from DeepL.com/translator)
