“You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness, but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” - 2 Peter 3:17-18 (NASB)
If we take the time to consider, we might find that our current situation in this world has encroached into parts previously spared much of the trials and tribulations being experienced in other parts of our globe. These events and conditions are not a surprise to anyone that understands and believes that God is sovereign and is not one that needs to be questioned as regarding His motives or reasons. God does what He choses and is perfect in all He does. It is common today to think that the Lord God has somehow missed the cue on a few things. But that comes from our thinking He must fit our concept of justice. He fits only His justice which is without fault. So our promise comes as a warning. It is possible for us to be “carried away by the error of unprincipled men.” These unprincipled people are failing significantly these days setting themselves up as arbitrators of their own rules. It is possible to trip and fall away from our own steadfastness but God has promised a better way. A way of grace and knowledge of our Lord Savior Jesus Christ. Let’s seek that way today.
