Reflection 1
Peter doesn't want our faith to stay small or stagnant. He says to add to it with all diligence, which simply means growth takes effort on our part. Nobody drifts into a deeper walk with God; we have to want it and go after it.

2 Peter 1:5 · Knowledge
Reflection 2
One of the first things to add is knowledge, and that starts with getting to know God personally. Open your Bible for even ten minutes today. Ask Him questions as you read. Talk to Him like you would a friend you're learning to understand.
Reflection 3
This kind of knowledge isn't just facts stored in your head. The more you know God's character, the easier it becomes to trust Him when life is hard. You respond to a rude coworker with patience because you know how patient He has been with you.
Reflection 4
So be a student of God this week. Read, ask, listen, and learn from other believers who know Him well. Small, steady steps of learning add up to a faith that's strong and real.
Reflection 5
Prayer
Dear Lord, help me to be diligent in knowing You more each day. Open my eyes as I read Your Word and teach me who You really are. Amen.
