1:4

Today's Scripture

Participating in the divine nature - this promise is so huge that I have trouble wrapping my mind around it. We can participate in the divine and escape the corruption. There is no greater calling for your life. There is no earthly dream that can begin to compare to this reality. We will never do anything as important, as incredible, as satisfying as being a part of the divine. We're not God. No matter how much we participate, He is still the only all-powerful, all-knowing God. But that all-powerful, all-knowing God lives in us if we are believers in Him. And that is incredible. We are intimately connected to Him for all eternity. No one in your life will ever be closer than Him because He is in you. This is something to marvel over. It is the most special, intimate gift He has ever given. And we get to receive it. Wow.
