“According as his divine power hath given unto us
all things that pertain unto life and godliness…” II Peter 1:3
In His infinite love for mankind, God has made
provision to minister to every need that we encounter in life. When
someone responds to the call of God and forsakes sin, God has a
vested interest in their well-being. He is concerned and touched
with the needs that we have in life, whether they be spiritual,
physical, emotional, financial, etc. According to His divine power,
all the help that we need can be found in Christ. We need never
again walk through the trials and battles of life alone. The Lord
will be there to sustain and strengthen us in our weakness with
grace, comfort, and help.
As the world searches and searches for help in
their problems, may every child of God take full advantage of the
provision that is in our Lord Jesus. Sometimes we suffer and worry
needlessly because we fail to look to the Lord to meet the need we
have. I am reminded of the story of man who spent the night at
someone else’s house. During the night, he was very cold. He was
very uncomfortable and restless as he tried to endure the cold
through the night. In the morning, he looked beside his bed and saw
a pile of blankets. His host had made provision for the cold. He
needed never to have had the unpleasant night.
How often we try to endure the trials of life and
endeavor to make it through. We need to remember that God has given
us ALL THINGS that pertain unto life and godliness. That covers
every facet of our life. When we are in need, let us turn our hearts
in prayer to God and seek His help. The provision that God has made
will enable every child of God to find a source of joy, peace, and
rest in every situation and difficulty encountered in this journey
of life.
