Devotional Fuel to Reboot Your Mind

1 John 2:4-6, “Whoever says “I know him,” but does not keep his commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him, but whosoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way he walked.”

When you know someone well, you know what they act like, believe in, and some of their likes and dislikes. You may remember something they have said to you that made a lasting impression. Think of someone you admire right now. What about them attracts or causes you to admire this person? You may wish you could match or surpass some of their inner qualities more often. Is it their devotion to God? Or the amount of faith that they courageously hold onto when they pray? Are they someone that lives out their total commitment and reliance on God without losing their temper when in a challenging circumstance? What about living out self-sacrifice and abandoning their preferences in building up others when needed? This was Jesus’s pattern of life and we “ought to walk in the same way he walked.” 1 John 2:6. Jesus was an example of complete obedience to God and loving service to people He encountered.

The question to ask and examine is how well do we (I) know God? “The point here is that the one who knows God will increasingly lead a righteous life, for God is righteous. It does not mean that he will be sinless; John has already shown that anyone who claims this is lying. It simply means that he will be moving in a direction marked out by the righteousness of God. If he does not do this, if he is not increasingly dissatisfied with and distressed by sin, he is not God’s child.” James Montgomery Boice. It takes living one day at a time as 1 Peter 2:21-22 declares, “To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.”

Jesus is not asking us to walk on water as He did. Instead, He asks us to follow Him and walk in intimacy in our relationship with God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as we keep His commandments and grow in our obedience to Him. Every day we are to seek to have greater Spiritual awareness personally, as we “abide in Him” His presence is right there with us in our business role, activities, projects, communication, relaxation, and in all circumstances in being more Spirit-led as we walk and talk in the light of Jesus and share with others, “I know Him.” 1 John 2:4.

1 John 1:3-4; 7, “That which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And we are writing these things so that our joy may be complete. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

We recently visited our son and his family, who live near Dallas, Texas. We rode on the Avis shuttle bus from the Avis car rental facility to the Love Field airport to board our return flight home. On the shuttle bus was a woman with a magnetic personality. After we all occupied a seat, two women boarded. There was only one seat left. The one took the remaining open seat and the other stood and held onto the pole behind the bus driver. The magnetic personality woman spoke up about wanting to show kindness to the woman left having to stand. She wanted to accommodate her need. The woman kindly declined; said she didn’t mind standing. The magnetic personality woman said, “Ok, I just don’t want anyone to outdo me in showing kindness! I am here to show kindness!” Then she shared a story about what she called a God thing that had happened to her the previous night. She had lost her keys to the rental car and was locked out of her car. She called a locksmith and was told replacing the lost key would cost $600. That was not an option. So, she went through everything hunting for those keys. She went through all the trash in bags, searching desperately for her car keys. She could not find them. So, she sensed within her that she should pick up the two bags of trash she had gone through right before her. She held up one sack. Nothing happened. She put that bag down and picked up the other bag, and the car door unlocked itself! The keys were in there, after all! She excitedly shared with the shuttle bus, “That was a God thing!” I looked at her as we departed the bus and said, “It is so nice to know other Christians are around!” She lit up joyfully and said, “Yes, we just have to be more vocal!”

I had the privilege of enjoying fellowship with this sister in Christ for those few minutes that I will never forget. John had seen and heard Jesus Christ. He stood at the foot of the cross when Jesus died. Peter and John witnessed the resurrected Christ and ate breakfast with Jesus after His resurrection. John had a special relationship with Jesus Christ. He saw Him with his own eyes, touched Him, and proclaimed the truth of the Word of life to bring his readers into a relationship with God Himself, and God’s people. When we “walk in the light” of Christ, as John stated in 1 John 1:1-4, we have fellowship with Him and other believers because we have a common bond as equal heirs of heaven. The light of Christ should then shine through our life. This woman on the shuttle bus had her light shining on all the other passengers on that bus. I wish I had gotten her name.

How can we be more of a light for Christ during these tumultuous times we are living in? When John wrote 1 John, there was a decline in commitment within the church, and the people were compromising and failing to stand up for Christ. May 1 John 1:1-4 and verse 7 be your prayer, as it is mine today, to live before others with an inner abiding peace, cheerfulness, and joyful optimism not based on our circumstances but on our faith in God. May we become more vocal in shining the light of Jesus with others we encounter.

2 Peter 3:14; 18, “Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these [new heavens and a new earth-verse 13), be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”

The word “waiting” stands out to me in 2 Peter 3:14. Peter, who had been a fisherman, was not lazy. He worked hard in that employment, had drive, initiative, and was chosen to be the leader of the apostles. So must we live passionately and diligently with what God has given us to do on this earth, while we wait, seeking to earn eternal rewards until Christ’s return. How do you see yourself doing that in your employment or retirement? What would you desire to be doing should Christ’s triumphant return occur today? I would not want to be in an argument or be complaining about not being treated fairly because right then it wouldn’t really matter anymore. It takes godly wisdom to discern when to address and have those critical conversations that arise. Ideally, I would like to be reading my Bible, listening to Christian music, or taking a walk and enjoying God’s creation of trees and flowers if I am still alive when this occurs.

Peter gives a final appeal to the church in his letter, admonishing them to actively grow in having purity in their lives. The NIV uses the word “blameless.” How do we not stumble? It is found in 2 Peter 1:5-8, “growing in one’s faith, virtue (pureness of integrity), knowledge of God, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection, and love.”

What about being “at peace with him (NIV)” that Peter mentioned? 1 Thessalonians 5:23 declares, “Now may the God of peace himself, sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” God is the God of peace. I regret wrong decisions and actions that keep me from having peace after the fact, which just happened recently. I STUMBLE whenever I am not first checking or being led by the Holy Spirit and doing things my way. My green internal light should have been a red light. Perhaps I should have had more patience. Perhaps I wouldn’t have received the consequence if I had done what I knew was right. Yes, perhaps, the sovereign hand of God was upon me, and for that, I praise Him.

Are you growing in the favor of God and gaining more knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ? That is what growing in grace is. Keep on keeping on. Be steadfast, unmovable, and diligent in your relationship with Christ. Seek Him first in all things and His kingdom (Matthew 6:33). Remember, God, knows your name (Isaiah 43:1). The same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you (Ephesians 1:18-20). “The Lord your God is the one who goes across ahead of you like a devouring fire (declared to Israel when they were about to cross the Jordan and dispossess nations greater and stronger than they).” Deuteronomy 9:3. You have the advantage which is all due to God’s mercy and grace. Go get ’em!

Listen to Jeremy Riddle, Jesus Have It All (lyrics).

2 Peter 3:8-9, “But do not overlook this one fact, beloved that with the Lord, one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.”

Have you noticed that as you get older, time has passed by much quicker than you had thought possible when you were younger? Do you see your perspective of time differently? My mom told me during the last five years of her life, “How did you get to be the age you are now? How did that happen?” I feel the same about our children that are now parents themselves and we as grandparents. Psalm 90:4 was part of a prayer of Moses, known as “the man of God,” which says, “For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.” God’s perspective on time is not the same as ours, as is pointed out in this cross-reference verse of 2 Peter 3:8. God is waiting for more people to acknowledge their sin, repent, and accept Christ as their Lord and Savior before He breaks forth in judgment and we are to be ready.

We each get 24 hours a day to use. So, there should be a sufficient amount of time to spend working, serving others, eating, reading, enjoying the outdoors, exercising, recreation of choice, and hospitality with family and friends within each week. So how does one manage time effectively? Try asking the Lord what He wants you to do today. Then take it one step further. What is the Holy Spirit leading you to do today by using your Spiritual gifts for His glory along with God’s perspective of how your time should be spent? The best time management advice we can follow is this. Obediently do what the Lord is telling you to do in your circle of influence with integrity. “You’ll find you have plenty of energy, plenty of opportunity because, having given God your day, you can’t outgive Him.” Jon Courson, Daylight Saving Time. A Topical Study of 2 Peter 3:8. We are to do our best and leave the results with Him.

We need to live to serve the WHO as He is in charge of the HOW. Each of us has important work to do that God has given to each of us to be used for His glory until He returns and calls us home with Him. Meanwhile, He is giving as much time as possible for people to reach repentance and accept Christ as their Savior. We are to live with God’s perspective of time in mind. God has compassion in His purpose of timing. “As God is not willing that any should perish, and as he is willing that all should come to repentance, consequently he has never devised nor decreed the damnation of any man, nor has he rendered it impossible for any soul to be saved.” Adam Clarke.

Therefore, we are to live with the point of view that Christ could return today, tomorrow, or sometime in the future (which could be in our lifetime as you read this). For every situation, challenge, disappointment, unmet expectation, and dream, seek the mind of Christ. John 8:31b-32 declares, “Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Give God your day and remember, you may not have tomorrow. God’s perspective of time is not like our timetable. He is the great I AM, the WHO and in charge of the HOW.

Listen to Phil Wickham’s new Lyric Video song, “I Believe.”

2 Peter 1:19, “And we have something more sure, the prophetic word, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.“

Whatever you are going through, God has the answers. Big things, little things, God cares about it all. Psalm 119:105 states, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” As you read the Scriptures, God has a message that will give counsel, wisdom, and guidance. Ask God what He wants you to pay attention to as you seek Him by reading God’s Word and talking to Him and reflecting upon what He has taught you in the past.

Do you feel like you have blown it? Peter had occasions to feel that way because he had a time or two. Yet God used Peter mightily and powerfully in putting him as the leader of the twelve apostles. But Peter had to learn humility to be used for God’s purpose. John MacArthur labeled Peter as “the apostle with the foot-shaped mouth,” in his book Twelve Ordinary Men. How the Master Shaped His Disciples for Greatness and What He Wants to Do with You.

When your parents were giving you instruction as a child, or a schoolteacher, when they wanted you to learn or understand what they were teaching you, they would say, “Pay attention! Listen to me!” Peter was one of the personal witnesses to Jesus’ transformation and heard the voice of God say, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him (Matthew 17:1-8).” This is what Peter is directing his readers to pay attention to and listen to the prophetic Word of God to learn and apply God’s wisdom and instruction. It is more than just a book of stories. Over 300 prophecies in the Old Testament give details of the Messiah’s birth, life, and death. Jesus Christ fulfilled each prophecy. As extraordinary as it was for Peter to witness Jesus’ resurrection, he says these prophecies, Scriptures, are an even greater witness of Jesus Christ than his own experience of being an eyewitness to seeing Jesus transfigured, “after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother . . . And he was transfigured before them.” Matt. 17:1-2. Peter focused on Jesus Christ, not merely on an event and voice He heard that he witnessed and experienced. These prophecies, he is saying, have trustworthiness because they all came true.

Picture yourself sitting down for coffee or a meal with Jesus as your guest. Just you and Him. What would He tell you He wanted you to pay attention to? Would it be vacuuming or dusting your house more (although that is important)? No, it would be more profound issues such as your heart and your relationship with Him. Jesus wants us to “pay attention” to His Words, giving us more discernment and knowledge in growing as an authentic Christian.

I write down on 3 X 5 note cards, prayer requests and answers to that prayer, date them, and keep them in a gift box on the mantel of our fireplace in our living room. This week I found a specific prayer request I had written down in a book I had grabbed from my shelf and saw a prayer request I had written on one of the pages, during the 2^nd quarter of 2022. The whole memory flooded back into my mind. I had forgotten to write down how God abundantly supplied seven months later above and beyond what I had asked! I immediately grabbed a note card, wrote down the date of this needed prayer request, and then the date of God’s provision to that prayer request. It was a moment of God reminding me, “Pay attention! I will shine my light into your situation and remember, Jesus is the bright and Morning star – the light of salvation to all.”

1 Peter 5:10, “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

Are you going through an “and” in your life? The word “and” signifies something more or additional. Not something singular. The term “and” is what is known as a conjunction. Conjunctions are words that join together other words, phrases, or sentences. Several years ago, we were going through a challenging situation that was out of our control, and then another trial came on top of that one and another one. It took time, but 1 Peter 5:10 became real. 1 Peter 5:10 is part of my life’s story.

We all worry at times, and have cares, yet Peter admonished in verse 7 in, declaring, “casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” Worrying about being famous, liked, rising to the top, and getting recognition will disappear when keeping a humble perspective in throwing your wishes, desires, and needs onto God and asking humbly (verse 6) for His provision. There is a two-part requirement. God just showed up again to me this past week with this verse and I had to pause at verse 6 as I read, “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so at the proper time he may exalt you.” So, I told God, OK. Please do this. I had had a disappointment. One day later He provided a specific blessing (“so at the proper time he may exalt you“) I had not expected. It was and still is a WOW moment!

Ask God to take the passion that you have thrown over to Him (it might take two hands to do so) and ask Him to bring glory to God through your efforts and to be of benefit and to see 1 Peter 5:10 a reality in your life.

So now what is left to do? You hold onto God’s promise to you of 1 Peter 5:10. Put your name in it. “And after ____________ have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called ___________ to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish ___________. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

Peter warns in verse 8, to be steadfast in your faith despite “Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” “Like a roaring lion: For Christians, Satan is a lion who may roar but who has been de-fanged at the cross (Colossians 2:15). Yet the sound of his roar – his deceptive lies – are still potent and he has the power to devour souls and rob Christians of effectiveness.

• He roars through persecution.
• He roars through strong temptation.
• He roars through blasphemies and accusations against God.” (David Guzik Commentary, Blue Letter Bible)

Prayer is our weapon of defense, as is quoting God’s Word.

You may wonder how God will restore you whenever you are going through a trial or coming out of one. Hebrews 13:21 states, He will “Equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.” God will see that His will is accomplished in your life as you obediently submit to Him. So, keep a firm grip on your faith, and your generous heavenly Father will have the last word in the end. Watch for it. Wait for your “and” conclusion and blessing for God to reveal to you in the end as He will:

• Restore you
• Confirm you
• Strengthen you
• Establish you

And in your “and after” you will have gained, in the end, purified character, increased patience and perseverance, increased empathy, and newly acquired appreciation of the presence and glory of God as you will be able to say: “The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.” Psalm 23:1 NLT.

Listen to Ben Fuller – Who I Am (Official Lyric Video)

1 Peter 4:10-11, “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies – in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.”

Peter reminded the believers that God has given each Christian at least one spiritual gift that needs to be utilized for God’s glory in serving others and ends verse 11 with a doxology. Did you ever think that in your spiritual gift(s), you are to be the manager of what God has graciously given you? You are the administrator in being a steward of those free and gracious spiritual gifts you have received. You have a competitive advantage. Therefore, use the talents and skills He has chosen to provide you with to glorify God in all that you do and say in accomplishing His will. Your spiritual gift(s) need to be developed and used as a steward of God’s grace that He has equipped you to do. He will bless those efforts and is able to multiply those benefits. You have the advantage of developing those skills in the power of the Holy Spirit to serve others. Peter lists two of the spiritual gifts here, which are speaking and serving gifts.

The spiritual gifts that are used for the glory of God in the church and applied in your workplace business as you influence others are (Romans 12:6-8; 1 Corinthians12:8-11; Ephesians 4:11):

• Discernment – Sound judgment for perceiving the difference between right and wrong and truth and error based on the truth of God’s Word (oracles of God).
• Faith – Examples pf people given the spirit of faith are given to us in Hebrews 11. Simple confidence in God in all you say and do.
• Knowledge – Deep understanding of God’s purpose and will from seeking it from God’s very words (oracles of God).
• Prophecy – Discern problems and apply appropriate oracles of God – Biblical principles to help alleviate the problems. Applying Biblical truth to a specific situation.
• Teaching – Being a diligent student of the Scripture, communicating Biblical principles learned from the oracles of God and relating them to the appropriate needs.
• Administration – Establishing goals and objectives, developing policies, programs, procedures, and budgeting required.
• Evangelism
• Leadership
• Shepherding – Compassionately providing spiritual guidance. Able to give verbal encouragement while focusing on God’s provision, protection, and presence, while influencing others from the calling on your own life from God.
• Wisdom – Using the knowledge from God to better understand a given situation.
• Missions
• Exhortation – Motivating others to live into their calling from God based on their faith in Him. Cautioning against potentially dangerous or harmful actions not representing their position in Christ.
• Hospitality
• Mercy – Recognizing those that are emotionally discouraged and stressed and helping to meet those needs with “words of gold” based on learned oracles of God applied to their needs.

“As we serve one another, we do it with the strength God provides, the ability which God supplies – so that to Him belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever.” David Guzik, Blue Letter Bible Commentary. That is the ultimate objective, seeking God’s glory in everything that we do because of the hope within us of His ultimate return. We know who wins in the end in this world amidst the spiritual battles surrounding us. Until then, develop your spiritual gift(s) God has graciously given you in serving one another, living as strangers in this world that is not our home. Give it your all as you walk in your position in Christ and in your integrity.

What is the Holy Spirit leading you to do today in using your advantage, your spiritual gift(s) for His glory?

Listen to Hope Darst – Never Walk Alone (Official Lyric Video).

1 Peter 4:7-8. “The end of all things is at hand; therefore be self-controlled and sober minded for the sake of your prayers. Above all, keep loving one another earnestly since love covers a multitude of sins.”

It seems like every week, there is another conflict between Christian ethics and convictions in our world going on. Sports, politics, and retail controversies have recently headlined our news notifications. What do you think Peter would say? He was a practical man, middle class, not overly sophisticated, who cared for boats and fishing nets and worked to support his family. He followed Jesus despite suffering and persecution which he experienced firsthand. Peter writes to hurting and suffering saints to hold onto their hope and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ because this life is short. There is coming a day when all will bow down before the throne of God and be held in judgment (1 Peter 4:5). Therefore, press on! There is urgency in the fact that Christ’s return is coming so live for God in all that you do. We have a strong anchor and prayer brings us into the presence of God. Prayer taps us into God’s listening ears and ignites our spiritual armor for the struggles we all face.

How does one stay calm during fearful or upsetting circumstances? Abraham Lincoln turned to God many times. Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation is one example: “And upon this act, sincerely believed to be an act of justice, . . . I involve the considerate judgment of mankind, and the gracious favor of Almighty God.” Then there was the prayer Gen. George Patton requested during World War II for the right weather to advance against the Germans in the Battle of the Bulge, which was hindered dramatically due to the winter weather. The Rev. James O’Neill prayed: “Grant us fair weather for battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men and nations.” God answered that prayer as “miracle of miracles, the snow stopped; the skies cleared, and Patton’s 3^rd Army, unleashed, went on to crush the Germans and help end the war in Europe. Thousands of miles away in the South Pacific, God also was invoked. After Japan had unconditionally surrendered, President Harry Truman declared August 10, 1945, to be a day of prayer and acknowledged God’s essential role.” Lee Edwards, Ph.D. Commentary, Presidential Prayers: Turning to God in Times of Need.”

When we are panicking, we are not praying. When we are reacting, we are not first praying before we (I) speak, which causes self-control not to be engaged. “Prayer sharpens our awareness so that we are able to be more discerning. It gives us genuine hope and confidence in Christ in the midst of confusion.” Chuck Swindoll. New Testament Insights. James, 1 & 2 Peter.

Keep loving the body of Christ earnestly, fervently, and creatively. That will strengthen and encourage one another because we have the Holy Spirit’s presence with us wherever we go and whatever we do. God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present. His Word gives us truth to live by. Use your spiritual gifts you have been blessed with to minister to others and plant seeds for eternity.

Peter gives us a lot to think about in 1 Peter 4. Motivate others to remain faithful in living out the love of God shown in their own life. Pray for God to use you in fulfilling His purposes through you. Fix your mind upon Christ’s return, end time ethics, and be filled with joy from fellowshipping with Him and other brothers and sisters in Christ.

Listen to Katy Nichole & Big Daddy Weave – “God Is In This Story” (Official Music video) You Tube. 10 months ago.

1 Peter 3:15-16, “But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you, yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.”

Everyone has an inner need to be loved and accepted. Having a kind and caring attitude while serving others can shine a light on someone in need even if you have been treated unfairly. It can be one way to be a witness to others because of the comfort and love God has shown to you. It can be a way of earning trust and respect from the other person. “Peter tells his readers that they should be ready to give a reason for the hope that they have in Christ. Note that this explanation for their hope comes only when they have considered themselves blessed, refused to panic and worry, and acknowledge Christ as Lord over their unfair treatment. When that happens, people on the outside will see their behavior and marvel: “How can you put up with this kind of treatment? I would have snapped by now!” Here Peter’s overarching theme of Christ as the source of hope in hurtful times rises again to the fore.” Chuck Swindoll.

 Do you always look to your heavenly future? We all get so busy with being busy. Taking a break in my day and walking on our paseos (paved walking paths) helps put my thoughts in perspective that I need to rise above whatever conflict is going on because I will be above someday with Christ. The sky, seeing any clouds, and the greenery along these walkways make me think how much more beautiful heaven will be than the flowers and trees I see along the pathways. It is hard to imagine.

Everyone has anxiety, fears, frustrations, angst, and has made mistakes. So how would you answer this question if someone asked you why you have hope in life? What keeps you going? Our conduct, Peter says in 1 Peter 2:12 NIV, is how to respond in being a light for Christ, as he said, “Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds, and glorify God on the day he visits us.” You may not be able to debate eschatology or theology, but you can share that Jesus saved you. You are not perfect, but you are a child of God (Romans 8:16) who strives to have a clear conscience free of guilt and shame for sins confessed and forgiven by God. It takes total commitment and wise decisions to live in obedience to God in a heartfelt decision to do your best and what is right. One’s integrity will speak for itself, so you won’t always have to. That is your defense due to the lordship of Jesus Christ in your life as you (I) need to honor God in all we do. Winning the respect of non-Christians takes having and maintaining integrity so our conscience is clear and speaks for us. Hard times allow us to seek Jesus and rise above the circumstances because we will be above someday!
