His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence.....For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, 6 and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, 7 and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.- 2 Peter 1.3,5-8 (www.lifejournal.cc)
Aim right and live right- inside and outside! Just like sin as a cumulative effect and one lie builds on top of another, or one yield to temptation makes it easier the next time, or gossip session, or step of waywardness, so the good things of God build on each other. We can build something mighty sweet in the Lord if we will just stay at it- day in and day out! Let's do it for the Lord today!
