Here’s the gist, human. Nothing new here. Who doesn’t have anxiety, who doesn’t work hard to not worry and perpetuate more of it in the process? For so many of us, that is an ongoing rhetorical state of mind. We don’t even need to answer. We know it’s true.

Let’s call anxiety exactly what it is. Let’s name it to God. A petition of the heart. That we take it to him, and let him measure the depth of our anxiety against the scope of its reach in our life. Because our God is sovereign.

Join us. E178.

Philippians 4:6

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Here’s the gist, human. The young, ambitious Peter, and the young, skeptical James grew up, spiritually. From baby Christians, eye witnesses of our Savior on earth, to spiritual leaders and two voices that prompt us to grow toward God by living a life that represents his truth on our ground.

The simple scripture-based exercise in e175, e176, and now e177 is meant to call out my faith, your faith and how it is defined by our spiritual maturity in action.

God’s Word illuminates his faithfulness by what I do. There is no substitute for God’s Word. I love immersing in it and letting God’s spirit speak.

My faith is defined by my spiritual maturity in action, his truth on my ground. God’s Word illuminates his faithfulness by what I do.

So I have an answer for how much clearer God needs to be

He is perfectly clear.

And I have a response. Grow up, human.

E177.

2 Peter 1:5-8

5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Here’s the gist, human. Peter’s first letter is impassioned, truth-seared, and glorious. It comes from his experiences, that he has lived his life trading measure for measure, that what he does in action, will receive a reciprocal spiritual strengthening. That spiritual maturity is embracing the glory-bound spiritual gain of things. His life convinces us of this: that a full investment in our obedience yields the highest spiritual return.

We can’t not hear Peter.

My faith is defined by my spiritual maturity in action, my truth on the ground. God’s Word illuminates my faith by what I do.

So I ask us, “how much clearer does God need to be?

Peter speaks. Let’s listen.

E176.
