June 11

Introduction

Christians are warned to be on guard against false teachers, against whom harsh words are directed. Today’s reading includes examples from the past of how evil was punished and how God saved those who were faithful.

Today’s Scripture Reading: 2 Peter 2:1-22

Today’s Key Verse:  2 Peter 2:9

And so the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials and how to keep the wicked under punishment for the Day of Judgment.

Reflect

Chapter 1 of 2 Peter ended with the writer stating that true prophetic messages from God are spoken by those who are under the control of the Holy Spirit. How are the false prophets and teachers described in chapter 2? Reread verses 20-22. What is your reaction to these verses about those who learned the “way of righteousness” but turned away from what they were taught?

Pray

Lord Jesus, help me to discern and heed your voice always so that I am not led astray by those who distort your teachings. Keep me strong in faith and guided by your Word of truth. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those who are misled by false teachings
