Today we read the final chapter of Peter’s second and last epistle. He says, “I am stirring up your sincere mind … that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets” (verses 1,2). Our previous reading today was Zephaniah 1, which has a challenging message for us – especially tomorrow’s chapter 2.

Today’s thought “The breastplate of faith” (November 18) Some of the verses in the final chapter of Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonians are really appropriate for conditions we live in today.

Today’s thought “Sound an alarm for the day of Jehovah that comes” (November 19) Living in these godless days we may not forget the many prophesies, stories and parables which are told in the Book of books, the Bible.

God’s control of human affairs may be very complex. God had made Himself a people. Though they were not always respectful or thankful to him. More than once they went astray.

Today’s thought “And they feared greatly” (February 6) Exodus 13 and 14 describe for us the dramatic deliverance of Israel from Egypt.
