GOD HAS GIVEN US SO MUCH
Scripture Reading: 2 Peter 1:1-11
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 2 Peter 1:2-3
God will not demand from us that which He has not already given us. He grants us the ability to do the things that He requires of us. So although our challenges may be very tough and intimidating, we are not left helpless and powerless. We have the equipment and the tools to tackle life’s many challenges. To face our challenges, we must know what God has given to us.
· God has given Himself to us. The Lord is on our side. His power is available to us to tap into. His grace is sufficient for us. His love for us is unfailing. He does not leave us alone nor abandon us when we get into trouble. In our moments of perplexity, He shows up in power to uphold us and carry us through.
· God has given us His word. Through the word of God, we have access to wisdom beyond our years and experience. God speaks to us when we read and study the Bible. He shows us the pitfalls we must avoid and the highway to follow. He shows us the signposts to success and the secrets to a happy life. Wisdom screams from the pages of the Bible and those who listen and apply its lessons to their lives enjoy the benefits of life.
· God has given us talents. Within each one of us are rich deposits of talents, gifts and abilities which are waiting to be discovered and deployed. God has fairly distributed to each one of us, the needed gifts to help us make our lives fruitful and useful. We do not work to acquire them. They have been bequeathed to us by a loving God.
· God is making a way forus. All around us are great opportunities that the Lord creates for us. From friends and people that assist us, to access to certain domains, He grants us these to pave a way for us. Opportunities sometimes present themselves in garments of challenges. Those who take the challenge and respond to it appropriately, reap the benefits of their diligence.
Why has God placed all these at our disposal? So that we can ably fulfill His will for our lives. You have what it takes and what you need to fulfill God’s purposes for your life.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, you have given me all the things I need in life. Thank you for equipping me for success. In Jesus’ name, Amen
