I'm thinking today of 2 Peter chapter 1 verse
3. I've been looking through this chapter quite
a bit this morning and afternoon and I just want
to kind of share the kind of the teaching that
comes out of chapter 1 verse 3. His divine power
has given us everything we need for a godly life.
through our knowledge of him who called us by
his own glory and goodness. His divine power.
Well, God's not short on power, and Jesus carried
out that. plan of God's perfectly. And so God
is completely able. He's able to do literally
anything. And he has chosen us as children of
God, as brothers and sisters in Christ. And he
has given us all that we need. And you could
go down to food, money, jobs, houses, but something
that can't be bought with money, some things
that can't be bought with money, he has also
provided. And whatever we have, wherever we are,
we have the ability to lead a godly life. This
is accomplished by knowing him, knowing more
of him, knowing more of what he wants from us.
And he has called us by his own glory that he
deserves all the credit, all the honor, all the
praise, and by the goodness of our God, he calls
us. So basically, God has provided it. Let's
walk it out. We are grateful, even though sometimes
it's tough. that we have what we have and others
have even less. You can guarantee it. And we
just praise you, Lord, for what you've done in
us.
