For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that (are requisite and suited) to life and godliness, through the (full, personal) knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence...
Peter writes that God has given us everything that is necessary and indispensable to life and godliness. The life here is described as “life more abundantly”. All those things can be yours through the relationship you have with the One Who is calling you to live this quality of life.
Godliness means to live like God or with God-like qualities. That is how God wants you to live. When you realize the impossibility of living that way, it becomes obvious that you must find the power source to live that way somewhere outside yourself. From these words, that power must be found in the knowledge of Him Who is calling you to live that way. This knowledge is a full and personal knowledge of God.
Today, your Loving Father is calling you to a personal relationship with Him. He wants to equip you with all you need to live a godly life and have life more abundantly. You can find instructions for those things that pertain to life and godliness in the pages of divine inspiration known as the Holy Bible. It is authoritative in defining how to obtain life and godliness. But the personal relationship is more than having a Bible. It is about reading and studying the word, spending time in prayer,worship and praise, and building your faith in Him.
Today, let go of all things that will hinder your personal relationship with God.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for your amazing love and great mercy towards me. Thank You, Awesome Father, that as you have me inscribed in the palm of Your Hands, it is only good plans You have for me. I know that You want me to live a godly life. I pray, Almighty Father, that You continue to equip me to live the godly life. I pray for a continuous desire to spend time with You and get to know You in a deep and personal way. Nothing else should matter to me as much as my relationship with You. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.
