Everything You Need by David Jeremiah

Everything You Need

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.
2 Peter 1:3, NIV

Many parents worry about raising children in our society today, and all of us struggle with remaining pure in a decadent culture. These are daunting times, but remember—we aren’t alone in the effort to live a godly life. God’s divine power gives us everything we need, and these resources come through our knowledge of Him.

Recommended Reading:
2 Peter 1:1-8
What does that phrase mean—our knowledge of Him?

It means learning more about God. As we see His handiwork in creation and study His message in Scripture, we become learners. Don’t assume you know everything there is to know about God and His Word. The Bible requires a lifetime of study. There are truths you’ve not yet discovered, promises you’ve not yet claimed, and aspects of God’s character you’ve not yet fathomed.

But the knowledge of God means more than simply knowing more about Him. It means knowing Him more—more intimately, more personally—which comes through daily communion with Him in prayer and in the Word. Let’s be quick to say: “Thank You, Lord, for meeting all my needs, including my need for godliness in an ungodly world.”

God gives you everything you need because He is everything you need.
David Jeremiah
