Study Lenses
The verse centers on "thinke", "meete", "long", "tabernacle", "stirre", "putting", and "remembrance". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "thinke" and "meete", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 12's "Wherefore I will not be negligent to..." into verse 14's "Seeing I knowe that the time is...", so "thinke" and "meete" belong inside that flow. In 2 Peter context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "thinke" and "meete" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
