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. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.” - 2 Peter 1:3-4

You have everything you need today to do it.

In fact, today can be amazing. Because you know God’s glory and goodness through the promises on your life, and because your heart is set on Him and not the world, you can actually be part of His nature. You can be holy.

Sometimes when we watch the news, or look around on social media, it’s easy enough to see the ‘corruption in the world’ that’s caused by ‘evil desires’. It’s in every headline, from politics to climate change! It’s local, it’s national, it’s international, it’s... everywhere. But the good news is that you and I don’t have to conform to the pattern! We can be different, we can be ‘godly’ in the darkest places, sharing the holiness of God with a world trying to escape itself. 

Today, while you pray and fast, ask God to remind you of his promises. Ask Him to refresh your knowledge of Him. 

Then, why not pray for an opportunity to be a light in the darkness? Just the smallest conversation could change the world. And today, we, you and me: we have everything we need.
