His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. (2 Peter 1:3)
Did you hear that?
We have everything we need for life and godliness.
Staggering, isn't it?
Do you feel ill-equipped?
You have "everything you need".
Do you think the idea of living a Christ-like life is WAY OUT OF YOUR REACH? Only for others?
You have "everything you need".
Do you feel overwhelmed and unable to face the tasks & challenges of the day?
You have "everything you need".
Say that verse again. But this time, put yourself in there.
His divine power has given ME everything I need for life and godliness through MY knowledge of him who called ME by his own glory and goodness.
Maybe you're like me. I need to pause in the midst of the day-to-day struggles in life and be reminded that He has provided all I need.
I have to take a deep breath, step back and be reminded of the gifts He has made available.
I need to "be still and know that He is God" because life can really mess with me. And if I'm not careful, I forget that I have everything I need for life and godliness.
Instead, I live like I've got nothin'.
So next time you or I feel like life's got us in a chokehold, and we're about to go down for the count, let's remind each other that we've got everything we need because of him who called us.
Grace & peace
