#soap # 2 Peter 01 ## Title: Everything We Need ## Scripture: (2 Peter 1:3) “I can pray this because his divine power has bestowed on us everything necessary for life and godliness through the rich knowledge of the one who called us by his own glory and excellence.” (NET) ## Observation: Peter is a unique voice for us to listen to concerning all that is needed. Peter walked with Jesus. He saw it all. He was restored by Jesus after turning away. He was there when the Holy Spirit descended on the Day of Pentecost. He was there as the early church grew. He traveled to Rome and preached to the elites. He walked through many dangers and saw indescribable wonders. Through all of it, Peter says that God is faithful to give us everything we need to stay faithful to God. If anyone would know, it would be him. It is even more powerful to realize these are the first words he wanted to make sure his audience realized. The Holy Spirit inspired him to remind us that God is with us more than we imagine and has given us more than we realize. We have everything we need to do everything He has called us to do. Someone once said that our limitations are a great way of clarifying what the Lord has called us to do. If God has not provided it, that means He is steering us in a different direction. ## Application: Trust that God is leading you and providing for you in more ways than you may currently realize. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for Your continual faithfulness.
