Worship Minute: In 1st Peter 1:4, we are told that God in His glory and excellence of character has bestowed on us His precious promises (i.e. salvation, forgiveness, redemption, etc.), and that upon receiving these promises we have become partakers of the Divine Nature, and that we are able to escape the worldly corruption fueled by evil desires around us! That is great news for those of us that do not want to get caught up in the corruption and rhetoric of the day.
Now that we have received those promises we are able to align ourselves with the very nature of God, upholding His characteristics and glory as we engage with the culture around us.
We are the ones that have escaped the corruption of the world, so we are the ones that should be able to look at the situations of the day, whatever they may be, and provide a rational, truthful, and empathetic approach to answering the calls for a solution.
Our answers are to be informed by much time spent on our knees partaking with the Divine Nature Himself, instead of much time spent on the couch with a TV telling us what to think! Let’s be Co-Laborers with Jesus and be a part of the solution by seeking our God together first. ~ Mark
