Today I would like you to ponder with me how our Lord has faithfully promised to give us all that we need to live this life. It is only by the power of God that any of us can remain strong and able to do His will for He has promised to give us ALL things that we need that pertain to this life and living godly. When God says ALL He means ALL. That means He will cause us to lack in no good thing as we ask Him.
2 Peter 1:3-4 (PHILLIPS)
“He has by his own action given us everything that is necessary for living the truly good life, in allowing us to know the one who has called us to him, through his own glorious goodness. It is through him that God’s greatest and most precious promises have become available to us men, making it possible for you to escape the inevitable disintegration that lust produces in the world and to share in God’s essential nature.”
We no longer need to strive to live a life pleasing unto to Him but rather draw upon Him as we come to know Him more intimately. Let us live a life that looks to draw from His grace and live by it. It is as this becomes so real to us that the scripture in Philippians 4:13 will explode with power within us!
Philippians 4:13 (AMP)
I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency].
Lord, we thank you this day that You empower us to live this life. You give us grace for every need, and we are ready to do the work of our life that You have divinely assigned to us. We proclaim that we can live victoriously as we look to You for every provision that we need! In Jesus Name. Amen!
