“He has granted to us his precious and very great promises…” 2Pet1.4 ESV
God’s promises are said to be precious and great. Consider how precious and priceless is the word of God. How can one measure the value of His directions, encouragements and warnings? What chance would an infant have without the mother’s care? So also are God’s precious instructions for life.
Consider how great are God’s promises. How great is their fame; those who live by them celebrate them. How great is their importance; there is no manner of measuring their impact. His promises are great because they are unlimited; He has promised all we need. They are great because they are immense; there is enormous potential for anyone who lives by them. How precious and great are the promises of God. Do I value them, as they should be valued? Do I hold their greatness with great esteem?
