“His divine power has given us everything
we need for life
and goodness through our knowledge of him
who called us by his glory and goodness.”
2 Peter 1:3(NIV)
Peter
continues his thought. He tells us God has given us everything we need for
living the life He wants us to have. He imparts these thoughts to us as we come
to know Him as we spend time in prayer, meditation and Bible study.
As we
learn of Him, we become energized by what He gives us. We witness His glory as
we experience His goodness. It is my desire to be able to communicate this
message to those who struggle with their faith. In order to do this, I have to
stay close to Him and learn from Him every day.
I
remember my mother saying, “I learn something every day.” When we walk with the
Lord this is especially true. We have to be receptive in order to learn in any
setting. But when we read and study God’s Word, He educates us on what He
expects of us and the things He will do for us, His children.
