00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.680
I'm thinking today of 2 Peter chapter 1 verse

00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:06.280
3. I've been looking through this chapter quite

00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:10.099
a bit this morning and afternoon and I just want

00:00:10.099 --> 00:00:11.960
to kind of share the kind of the teaching that

00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:15.740
comes out of chapter 1 verse 3. His divine power

00:00:15.740 --> 00:00:19.219
has given us everything we need for a godly life.

00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:21.980
through our knowledge of him who called us by

00:00:21.980 --> 00:00:24.879
his own glory and goodness. His divine power.

00:00:25.019 --> 00:00:28.760
Well, God's not short on power, and Jesus carried

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:32.539
out that. plan of God's perfectly. And so God

00:00:32.539 --> 00:00:35.240
is completely able. He's able to do literally

00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.280
anything. And he has chosen us as children of

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.899
God, as brothers and sisters in Christ. And he

00:00:40.899 --> 00:00:43.700
has given us all that we need. And you could

00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:48.100
go down to food, money, jobs, houses, but something

00:00:48.100 --> 00:00:50.259
that can't be bought with money, some things

00:00:50.259 --> 00:00:52.020
that can't be bought with money, he has also

00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:55.179
provided. And whatever we have, wherever we are,

00:00:55.299 --> 00:00:58.659
we have the ability to lead a godly life. This

00:00:58.659 --> 00:01:01.100
is accomplished by knowing him, knowing more

00:01:01.100 --> 00:01:03.560
of him, knowing more of what he wants from us.

00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:06.519
And he has called us by his own glory that he

00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.719
deserves all the credit, all the honor, all the

00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.459
praise, and by the goodness of our God, he calls

00:01:11.459 --> 00:01:14.180
us. So basically, God has provided it. Let's

00:01:14.180 --> 00:01:16.840
walk it out. We are grateful, even though sometimes

00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:19.150
it's tough. that we have what we have and others

00:01:19.150 --> 00:01:21.049
have even less. You can guarantee it. And we

00:01:21.049 --> 00:01:22.709
just praise you, Lord, for what you've done in

00:01:22.709 --> 00:01:22.890
us.
