Knowledge of our Lord

Those who trust in the LORD
Are like Mount Zion,
Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
Psalm 125:1

This week has been a little tuff with school. Prayer would be great! I was reading 2 Peter chapter one and there were some really interesting things there.

"add to your faith
virtue,
to virtue knowledge,
to knowledge self-control,
to self-control perseverance,
to perseverance godliness,
to godliness brotherly kindness,
and to brotherly kindness love."
2Peter 1:5-7

Look at what the next verse 8 says:

For if these things are yours and abound,
you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Verse 9 is the one that shocks me:

For he who lacks these things is
shortsighted, even to blindness,
and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

So, if all those things listed above are so important, we must check that we do all that, if not, then work on changing, with Gods help.

virtue : moral excellence; goodness; righteousness; chastity; virginity
knowledge: acquaintance with facts, truths, or principles, as from study or investigation
self-control: control or restraint of oneself or one's actions, feelings
perseverance: steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., esp. in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement.
godliness: conforming to the laws and wishes of God

and don't forget brotherly kindness and love, which are easy to understand. :)
