A bully is someone who picks on those weaker than themselves. Often, the painful part is that the bully knows the weakest part and begins the attack there. We can all probably agree that we have a built-in bully deep inside of us: our old sin nature.

Our weaknesses become a perfect target for the perfect bully. We might lose our confidence with God. We are bruised and broken. We have tender spots that the bully jumps on with both feet. But God has the last word. And God did speak his word in Isaiah 42:1-3 Here is my Servant whom I have chosenA bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not put out. If you are bruised and you feel that your light is about to go out, turn to Jesus: God’s Servant. Jesus will put you on the mend and silence the bully.

Psalm 119 is a God-ordained hymn to God's Word. It is the longest chapter in the Bible. This hymn to God's Word comes to us in 22 stanzas. Each stanza is represented by one of the 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Each line in every stanza will begin with the same Hebrew letter that is assigned to it. The Hebrew letter in this stanza is the letter Pe the P sound.

As we dig deep into the 17th stanza we will be carried along the blessed path created by the many terms used for God's Word. We will walk on God's path laid out for us by God's Law, Promises, Statutes, Commands, Precepts, Decrees and Words. All who partake in this glorious journey through God’s Word will be filled with God’s strength and endurance. This might be just what we all need in this world today. Amen.

We have a practical faith that will manifest itself in the inner most part of our lives. Our heart and soul will begin to change more and more to reflect the image of God. Then, the practical element of our faith will begin to spread out to bless others.

Our faith becomes even more amazing when we realize that what we now have in Christ was God's plan all along. We find we are engulfed in a prophetic faith that was planned before the creation of the world. Peter expressed it this way: "We have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts" (2 Peter 1:19). May the light of our prophetic faith shine deep in our hearts.

Our faith becomes more and more precious when our faith grows into a practical faith. In other words, we have begun to live a life more and more reflective of our faith. The Apostle Peter expressed it this way: For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love (2 Peter 1:5-7).

This is God's holy chain-reaction of practical faith. Faith heads up the chain followed by seven practical links that will bring heavenly realities into the world in which we live. It can't get much more practical than this.

Certain things in this world can be precious to us. Time can be precious. Material objects can be precious. Thoughts and attitudes hidden deep in our hearts may seem precious to us. When we consider all that this world has to offer, there is nothing more precious than faith in Jesus Christ.

Peter addressed his second letter to " those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours" (2 Peter 1:1). ). Peter was specifically chosen by Jesus himself to be the one to explain this precious faith. We have the same faith as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I don't know if we could place that on our resume in this world, but it certainly exists in the realm of God. Anyone who receives Jesus now has a precious faith that transcends anything this world has to offer.
