“His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness” (2 Peter 1:3).

All power belongs to the LORD.  He has given us power through Christ.  What power?  Christ has conquered sin and death and gives us the power to become children of the Heavenly Father.  Come then and live in the spiritual power you have been given.  Know that in Him there is life, liberty, peace and joy.  Apart from Him there is no life, but in Him is all life.  Learn how to live as the Author of you created life to be lived.

All glory and goodness are Yours Lord.  You have given us the offer of salvation which takes us from where we were to where we need to be.  Guide me, dear Lord, in the way of salvation.  Help me to understand that apart from You I can do nothing, but that with You all things are possible.  Only in the love You give can I find what is missing in me, knowing this has been caused by sin, but by Your power, You have given me the ability to be made new.

Lord Jesus, You said that You will make all things new.  Guide me in the way of the new life You are creating in order that I may be guided by Your goodness and mercy in the way of everlasting life.  Help me now and always to not compromise with this world, or sin, but be bold in living into the promise through the power that You give by faith through grace.  Lead me, Lord, in Your power.  Amen.
