Make every effort

“Make every effort.” Peter repeats the phrase in his second letter.  Several times.

And in the conclusion, he combines it with an unexpected word. Counter-intuitive.  

“Therefore, dear friends, while you wait for these things, make every effort to be found without spot or blemish in His sight, at peace.” 2 Peter 3:14

Make every effort. While you wait.

Tear your hearts

“Tear your hearts….” The words grab my attention. 

I’m reading the Word of the Lord that came to the prophet. Joel. 

Judgment approaches. The Day of the Lord is coming. And God extends the invitation to return to Him. 

Even now.

In this season. Advent. As we wait and watch. Anticipating the coming of the Savior.
