This week the Lord required us to "camp" on our lesson from last week. The gifts of the kingdom of God that we have here and now require an adjustment in how we see God, ourselves and the world around us. We are transformed by these truths and at the same time each of us wondered why it has taken us so long to take hold of them. Whatever the reason we all agreed that our palate has been aroused by something that causes us to hunger and thirst for more.
As we were reading 2 Peter 1-11, before we moved too far into the passage, we discovered that the Apostle Peter in verse one shares with us that "we have obtained a faith of equal standing with ours by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ." Often we find ourselves elevating fellow Christians for their gifting, yet the truth is that the gifts of the kingdom of God for each of us are equally precious and complete. We truly are a people who do not lack for anything. Let us begin to live this truth out for the glory of God.
