DAILY READINGS: 1 Kings 6:1-38; Jeremiah 13:1-27; Ephesians 5:22-6:9

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature. 2 Peter 1:4a

In the midst of a storm, Peter stepped out of the boat and was literally walking on the water; an act of divine power. He was not God, yet was a partaker of the divine nature. This power of His divine nature can be ours in the storms of life, if with eyes upon Him, we trust in these great and precious promises given to us in His Word. —Sam Thorpe Jr.

Come every soul by sin oppressed,
There’s mercy with the Lord,
And He will surely give you rest,
By trusting in His Word. —J. H. Stockton
