Day 23: September 27, 2025 – II Peter 1-3 and Psalms 106-111

A good place to start today is with the last verses that we read today which remind us: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Most of the Psalms, certainly the beginning ones, remind the reader of the time that Israel was in the wilderness and disobeying God and doing their own thing. The sin of the people, and even of Moses at Meribah which is brought up in one of the Psalms, is part of the history of the people even to this day. Scripture reminds us of how God has been faithful even in the midst of our sin, which is what we find with II Peter as well.

Even though this is the second book of Peter, we do find him pointing out that God has been faithful and so as a result we should be faithful as well. There is no expiration date on the faithfulness of the Lord. In fact, there is a Scripture that I often use to remind us of how God has remained faithful and that God’s timing is not like our timing where we hear in II Peter 3 that to the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like one day. Our concept of time is simply our concept, not God’s. That should be comforting.
