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:
- How can you ensure that your faith is continually refreshed with new learnings and virtues?
- 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
