God Has Prepared You For This

In Daily Devotional, Faith Journey, Spiritual Growth by Kirk Giles

Bible Verse: 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

Scripture Reading: 2 Peter 1:2-8

God has been preparing you for this moment in time.

If you are God’s son, read carefully the words of 2 Peter 1:3. The divine power of the Creator of the universe has given you EVERYTHING – EVERYTHING – you need for life and godliness. This does not come through our own human wisdom or ingenuity. It comes through knowing the One who called us to be His sons.

As COVID19 spreads, there will likely be more panic and fear. You may feel it yourself, but you will most certainly be surrounded by people who are feeling it. We are facing challenges today, and there will be many more in the coming months. This is a moment in history for men like you and me.

As a believer and follower of Jesus Christ, your presence as a man of God is going to be very important. Your family, co-workers, fellow believers, and community will have so many more emotional, spiritual, and physical needs. You do not need to be overwhelmed by the moment because God has already given you EVERYTHING you need for life and godliness. Stay close to Jesus. Hold on to His precious and very great promises.

Today, my prayer for you is in 2 Peter 1:2 – “May grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.”
