Day 335: Ezekiel 43-44; 2 Peter 2
by Jonathan Merki on November 30th, 2023
Does 2 Peter 2 describe the world we live in today? Those who pervert justice, who try to make a lie the truth, who make humans mere animals with no control over their senses, who call evil good and slander those who stand for righteousness, who corrupt children and minors and parade their sinful practices for all to see, who destroy life in the name of personal rights and rally for those whose go...

Day 334: Ezekiel 41-42; 2 Peter 1
by Jonathan Merki on November 29th, 2023
"His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness." (2 Peter 1:3, CSB)Talk about a loaded passage of Scripture. I challenge you, however, for this moment to take it at face value and read it with simplicity. Knowing Jesus our Lord, personally and intimately, seeing Who He is as our Savior and Lord, liv... Read More

by Jonathan Merki on November 28th, 2023
"And then, after your brief suffering, the God of all loving grace, who has called you to share in his eternal glory in Christ, will personally and powerfully restore you and make you stronger than ever. Yes, he will set you firmly in place and build you up." (1 Peter 5:10, TPT).Jesus did tell us that in this world we would have opposition (literally, pressing like the pressing of grapes to make w...

Day 332: Ezekiel 37-38; 1 Peter 4
by Jonathan Merki on November 27th, 2023
"I will display my greatness and holiness, and I will reveal myself in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the LORD." (Ezekiel 38:23, CSB)"Instead, rejoice as you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may also rejoice with great joy when his glory is revealed." (1 Peter 4:13, CSB).How often have you heard someone say, "Scripture is being fulfilled before our very eyes... Read More

Day 331: Ezekiel 36; 1 Peter 3
by Jonathan Merki on November 26th, 2023
"The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and His ears are attentive to their prayers" (1 Peter 3:12a).E. M. Bounds writes: "It is strange how God has to school His people in His ability to do all things!...In God's ability to do, He goes far beyond man's ability to ask." God's ability goes hand in hand with His willingness. His desire is to bless His trusting, obedient children. He is paying att... Read More

Day 330: Ezekiel 34-35; 1 Peter 2
by Jonathan Merki on November 25th, 2023
In response to yesterday's question asked by God in Ezekiel 33:11, "Why will you die?" today's reading asks the corollary: "How will you live?" Consider 1 Peter 2:21: "For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps." (CSB). In His Steps, written by Charles Sheldon, became a spiritual classic because it addressed this b... Read More
