Promise of God #81

2 Peter 1:3 WEB

seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness,
through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue; 
    

I really appreciate how the New Living Translation expresses 2 Peter 1:3... By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence. (NLT) 

Because of His amazing love, God has equipped you with His own power so that you will have everything that you need to live a godly life. When God says everything, He means everything! Christ in you, the hope of glory will overcome every challenge that you are currently facing.

No matter how difficult your circumstances, God will empower you with His own divine power! As the Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:31 ...if God is for you, who can possibly stand against you? My prayer today is that each one of us would realize that whatever God has called us to do, He will will give us the power to accomplish it. We have all that we need in every circumstance because of His great and precious promise to empower us to live a full & good, godly life.

The Living Water

Water in Desert

John 4:14

"I am living water; anyone who accepts me will never be thirsty again." 

If you've ever traveled through the desert, you'll notice that it's mile after mile of dry and barren landscape. Then suddenly, there's a spot of green, some trees, bushes, and flowering plants. It always means there's some kind of water source nearby. With water, the desert blossoms and comes to life.

The same is true with our lives. Without God, we tend to dry up when life gets hard. It saps us of all our energy, creativity and drive. We eventually feel beaten down, worn out, and dried up. But Jesus says, "I am living water; anyone who accepts me will never be thirsty again." He wasn't talking about physical thirst. He was talking about satisfying our spiritual thirst so we can blossom and come to life.

What about it? Do you sometimes feel like a dry, dusty shrub in a dessert of emptiness? Come to Christ and enjoy a cool drink of water whenever you need it.

Promise of God #80

Psalm 146:7 WEB

who executes justice for the oppressed;

who gives food to the hungry.

   

Our God is good. He has a heart of compassion for the marginalised, the oppressed and all who need His help. As we read in 1 Corinthians 13:6 describing the character and nature of love from the Amplified Bible .. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. (AMP)

It is frustrating to see evil prevail around us. I think God has placed something in the human heart that longs to see justice for the oppressed.  Be encouraged in knowing that this desire comes from God because our Father does not rejoice in evil, but He always rejoices when justice wins out. 

Today's promise simply reminds us that our God is for the underdog and the hurting. We read in 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 how He has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the strong, the poor of this world over the rich, and the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. No matter what injustice you are facing today personally or what injustice you see around you, be comforted in knowing that our Father understands and He rejoices when justice wins out.

Eternal Life VS Eternal Death

Everlasting Life with GOD

"And anyone who believes in God's Son has eternal life.

 Anyone who doesn't obey the Son 

will never experience eternal life 

but remains under God's angry judgement."

John 3:36

Jesus says that those who believe in Him have everlasting life.

To receive eternal life is to join in God's life, 

which by nature is eternal. 

Thus, eternal life begins 

at the moment of spiritual rebirth.
