       So, we need God’s “knowledge,” his Word, to have “life and godliness.” And Peter notes how God has given us “his precious and very great promises,” to be “partakers of the divine nature.” That’s serious business; that’s true life. It is these “promises” that continue to make us more like Jesus by escaping the ways of this world (2 Peter 1:3-4, ESV). David also points out how God’s laws revive our souls. When we are feeling down and out, God’s Word can bring us back on our feet. It can bring us out of the dumps. Sometimes we are down because of a certain life situation. Sometimes we are down and out because we are longing for something in our lives that we don’t have yet. And sometimes, things just in general aren’t going that good, or least, that’s the way we perceive our surroundings. But whatever the situation or case, the Bible can lift us up out of our slumber. It is written in Proverbs, “The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant. My eyes are ever toward the Lord, for he will pluck my feet out of the net” (Psalms 25:14-15, ESV).
