So often I fail to realize the provision of God through Christ, for example; His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you (me) may become partakers of the Devine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire. The knowledge of Him, “Jesus Christ.” Not just an academic gathering of information, but in relationship with, the real person who has loved us beyond what I struggle to comprehend, but by faith believe that I could be so richly loved! A love that includes provision, both now and forever!For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue, with knowledge and knowledge, with self control and self control with steadfastness and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly with love. For if these qualities are yours and increasing, they keep you and i from being ineffective or unfruitful… sure do see my need to grow! So rich the grace lavished on me. What a possession to have and cherish (stewardship). Going into the day with this truth on my mind.
