The Secret of Godliness: True Knowledge of Him
Read 2 Peter 1:1-21
2 Peter 1:3 (NASB95)
3 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
2 Peter 1:3 reminds us that God's divine power has already given us everything we need for a life that truly lives – a life full of purpose, meaning, and godliness. It's not something we have to strive for in our own strength alone. It’s not a future promise to be earned. It's a present gift, freely and lavishly bestowed.
The key? "True knowledge of Him." This isn't just knowing about God, but experiencing Him, walking with Him, and growing in intimacy with Him. As we seek to know Him better – through prayer, studying His Word, and active obedience – we unlock the power He has already made available to us. Whatever challenges you face today, whatever needs you have, remember this: You have been equipped. You have been empowered. Draw on the divine resources already within you through a deeper relationship with the One who called you "by His own glory and excellence." Live out of the overflow of His grace, strength, and wisdom. He has given you everything you need. Now, walk in it!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the incredible truth of 2 Peter 1:3. Thank You that in Your divine power, You have already granted us everything we need for life and godliness. Forgive us for the times we forget this, for the times we feel inadequate or overwhelmed, and for the times we try to do things in our own strength.
Lord, we ask for a deeper, truer knowledge of You. Open our eyes to see Your glory and excellence. Open our hearts to receive Your grace. Help us to grow in intimacy with You. Help us to truly know You.
Empower us to live out the life You've called us to. Give us wisdom to make good decisions. Give us strength to face our challenges. Give us courage to share Your love with others.
Help us to tap into the resources You have provided. May Your divine power work in us and through us, transforming us into the people you created us to be. Help us to live out of the abundance of Your provision, not out of our own limited resources.
Thank You for calling us by Your own glory and excellence. May we live lives worthy of that calling, bringing honor and praise to Your name.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
