As we watch Israel, Gaza, Iran, Russia, Ukraine...global debt, global warming, weather gone wild, and all the other dangers unfolding--DO YOU REMEMBER COVID?
It was the first truly GLOBAL EVENT if you step back to think about it.
All the countries of the world are aware and acting on a SINGULAR FOCUS: prevent or mitigate the spread of the DEADLY COVID-19.
As we watch GLOBAL EVENTS--our hearts as believers need to be ANCHORED BY GOD'S WORD!
Every day we each make a big choice. Each day we choose which master we will follow. This is not about what we say because, with our mouths, most believers would readily say that Christ is our Master.
Each day we point to our Master by our choices, our time investments, and our motivations that drive our handling of money: those are the actions that speak louder than our words. Those are the choices that clearly frame who really is the master of our lives.
As we turn again to 2 Peter 3 we see what Peter had heard way back there in the Sermon on the Mount, with the disciples: that we can only serve one master at a time. Right there, at the start of His ministry, Jesus comes right to the point.
Choosing Which Master We’ll Follow
We have a choice of Master, and only one can be served. Peter held onto that truth all his days.
As we look at 2 Peter 3, note the repeated tone of Peter’s challenge. It is gentle, loving, and urgent. Peter repeats the word “beloved” five times. That should jump off the page for us, setting in our hearts the tone Peter has in this exhortation.
