2 Peter

In 2:19 Peter points out; "For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved." So I wonder what I have allowed to overcome me? Peter doesn't mention him but I'm thinking he was hoping that everyone would read his unspoken connection to Jesus through the work of the Holy Spirit. When I hear the word "overcome" what comes to my mind is the death of some one. "They were overcome by smoke." Probably Peter was thinking the same thing; that we will allow the Holy Spirit to "kill" our selfish desires so that Christ can live out his power in us.
It took me about 10 minutes to read this book.
