1 Peter 2

1 Peter 2:7-8 “Yes, you who trust Him recognize the honor God has given Him.  But those who reject Him, ‘The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone.’  And, ‘He is the stone that makes people stumble, the rock that make them fall.’  They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them.” 

I was reading this today and it really made me think of how our lives are so up and down, and it is the same with our walk with the Lord.  When we focus on God and work on obeying what we learn the peace we are promised keeps us centered even in our trials.  But when we put the world first and live to satisfy our own desires we struggle with even the simplest problems.  We need to work on seeking and asking for wisdom and knowledge daily so we can have a constant flow of the truth.  It says, “They stumble because they do not obey God’s word…”  We need to know God’s word so we are able to obey it.

In 1 Peter chapter 2 verses 2-3 it says, “Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation.  Cry out for this nourishment, now that you had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.”

When we are hungry we do our best to eat and we don’t let anything stop us from eating.  We need to realize God has done everything and it easy for us to know Him.  We just need to open His word and fill that void in our lives with Him.  Amen

This scripture reminds me that the main thing the Word asks of us is to love God and love our neighbor. Would we have all these problems if we did that? Would we be trying to get more and not worry about the ones less fortunate? Just how would we live our lives if we really loved God with all our heart and our neighbor as ourselves? What a wonderful world this would be.
