This is what Peter emphasizes at the start of his letter—that we are to actively remember the truths that have marked us as Christ-followers (vs. 12-15). So what does this look like for you and me, in this church? It means learning how to see and savor the holiness found in our routines:
Sharing that bread and cup of Communion as a way to remember what has already been done.
“It is finished”
Showing up ready to worship as we put great and familiar words on our tongues.
“You are mighty to save”
Re-reading that passage of Scripture so it might leave its mark on our hearts.
“Take my mind, transform it”
Repeating that prayer until we mean it.
“Your will be done"
Giving that tenth of what we earn back to God to remind ourselves that life is a gift.
“All I have is Yours”
Thank you Reuben... simple and powerful wisdom.

Knowledge of HIM, reminding ourselves of His truths, practicing the above simplicity of faith, all of it will bring us grace and peace in abundance.
