The Perfect 7-day Diet – Peter’s Picks
‘I am a Work in Progress’
Day 1:
Philippians 1:6 – “And I am certain that God, who
began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally
finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”
Day 2: 2
Corinthians 3:18 – “So all of us who have had that
veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord – who is
the Spirit – makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his
glorious image."
Day 3:
Philippians 3:12-14 – “I don’t mean to
say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached
perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus
first possessed me. No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but
I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies
ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize
for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”
Day 4:
Ephesians 4:15 – “Instead, we will speak the
truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head
of his body, the church.”
Day 5:
Philippians 2:12 – “Dear friends, you always
followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is
even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying
God with deep reverence and fear.”
Day 6:
Isaiah 30:18 – “So the Lord must wait for you to come to him so he
can show you his love and compassion. For the Lord is a faithful God. Blessed
are those who wait for his help."
Day 7: 2
Peter 1:5-8 – “In view of all this, make every effort to respond
to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral
excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with
self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance
with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection
with love for everyone. The more you grow like this, the more productive and
useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
