His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.


2 Peter 1:3 (NIV)



This scripture tells us that we have everything we need to live a life that pleases God. The word used here does not just mean staying aive as a biological creature (or physically), but rather a fulfilled spiritual life that changes our thoughts and actions in the direction of contentment and godliness. God doesn't just provide our needs as a biological creature, like food, shelter, cars and clothings but also He has bestowed or given us all things so that we will have a fulfilled spiritual life. This includes a life filled with faith. This includes a life brimming with hope.

God has provided everything we need to live a life that pleases Him, to grow in a contentment and godliness. You might not feel the truth of that promise - but God's promises are true, no matter what you feel.
