LOOK:

To keep a clear conscience, let’s stay engaged with the Word of God that allows His light to shine on our conscience. Let’s spend time in prayer and fellowship with Him and our brotherhood. When the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, let’s be quick to repent.

LOOK:

When Jesus Christ is Lord of our lives, each crisis becomes an opportunity for witness. We are “ready always to give an answer.” Every Christian should be able to give a reasoned defense of his hope in Christ, especially in hopeless situations. A crisis creates the opportunity for witness when a believer behaves with faith and hope, because the unbelievers will then sit up and take notice. Let’s be ready to give an answer!

LOOK:

A “good day” for the believer who “loves life” is not one in which he is pampered and sheltered, but one in which he experiences God’s help and blessing because of life’s problems and trials. It is a day in which he magnifies the Lord (Ps. 34:1–3), experiences answers to prayer (Ps. 34:4–7), tastes the goodness of God (Ps. 34:8), and senses the nearness of God (Ps. 34:18).

The next time you think you are having a “bad day,” and you hate life, read Psalm 34 and you may discover you are really having a “good day” to the glory of God!

LOOK:

Love is a recurring theme in Peter’s letters, not only God’s love for us, but also our love for others. We should begin with love for God’s people, evidenced by unity of mind, compassion, tenderness of heart toward others, and loving our enemies.

LOOK:

It might be good if couples occasionally took inventory of their marriages. Here are some suggested questions to process, based on what Peter wrote:

  1. Are we partners or competitors?
  2. Are we helping each other become more spiritual?
  3. Are we depending on the externals or the eternals? The artificial or the real?
  4. Do we understand each other better?
  5. Are we sensitive to each other’s feelings and ideas, or taking each other for granted?
  6. Are we seeing God answer our prayers?
  7. Are we enriched because of our marriage, or robbing each other of God’s blessing?
