Equipped


 God's divine power has given us everything we need
 for life and for godliness.
2 Peter 1:3 (GW)

God promises to give us everything we need. That means he provides for our every day practical needs and also for our spiritual needs.

God provides whatever we need for our daily lives - our daily bread.  He is the good shepherd caring for his sheep and providing their every need - green pasture, clean water and protection from enemies. 

He also provides for our spiritual needs. When we hear the word "godliness" we may think, "I'm certainly not very godly."  But, our good shepherd provides for that need to.  By his spirit within us, he gives us the desire to pray, he inspires us to do good things for others and he fills us with his gifts of patience and kindness. He gives us peace and encouragement to accomplish whatever he has given us to do.

All these things come from him who gives everything that we need.  He equips us in every way by his power. 


 May he equip you with all you need for doing his will. May he produce in you, through the power of Jesus Christ, every good thing that is pleasing to him.
Heb 13:21 (NLT)
