We
have everything we need to live a life that pleases God. It was all
given to us by God’s own power, when we learned that he had invited
us to share in his wonderful goodness. God
made great and marvelous promises, so that his nature would become
part of us. Then we could escape our evil desires and the corrupt
influences of this world.
2 Peter 1:3-4
What do you need to live a
life that pleases God? Do you need more faith? Do you need good
works that give Him glory? Do you need a heart that is concerned
about those who are lost? Of course, you need all of those things
and more. But these verses in 2 Peter 1 tell us an amazing truth.
God has invited us to share in His wonderful goodness and has
promised that His nature would become part of us.
He said it simply in
Colossians 1:27 with the words “Christ in you, the hope of glory!”
You see when Christ is in you, you have everything you need to
please God.
Your job is to let Jesus
direct your steps and give you the wisdom you need for every decision
in your life. When you do that your life will please God in
everything you do.
“Lord Jesus, show me
everything You want me to do today as the Nature of God becomes part
of me. It is too wonderful for me to comprehend, but it is Your
promise and I choose to believe it! Praise Your Holy Name forever!
Amen.”
