October 15 – Fresh Ingredients

October 15 – Fresh Ingredients

2 Peter 1:5-6 - "For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control..."

In gourmet cooking, fresh ingredients make all the difference, elevating the dish's quality. Spiritually, continually refreshing our hearts with virtue, knowledge, and self-control enhances our faith, ensuring it remains vibrant.

A stale spiritual life, much like a dish with old ingredients, isn't satisfying. By adding fresh insights, virtues, and disciplined practices, our spiritual journey becomes more dynamic and enriching.

Reflection Questions:  

  1. How can you ensure that your faith is continually refreshed with new learnings and virtues?
  2. What 'stale' habits or beliefs do you need to replace with 'fresh ingredients' in your spiritual life?

Morning Prayer:  

Father, rejuvenate my faith with fresh insights and virtues. Let me seek knowledge and practice self-control, making my spiritual journey vibrant and fulfilling. Amen
