2 Peter 1:3 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.
Ephesians 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
Wow what amazing promises we have from God. The key to receiving these promises and holding onto them is the phrase "through our knowledge of him". This knowledge is not just a head experience where I acknowledge Him or believe that He exists, no it is a daily heart experience. The Bible makes it clear that even the demons know that there is a God and they shudder. They have a head knowledge of God but I know that they are not experiencing God's promises. I must allow my head knowledge of God to be translated into a heart experience that can only come as I pursue my relationship with Jesus Christ. My knowledge of God transforms my heart and then is lived out in my life. I am blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ, I have been given everything I need for life and godliness not simply because of what I know, but because what I know has translated into what I believe and that impacts the way I live. Today I want to live out these promises as I rely on God to guide me, to protect me, to give me everything I need to live and everything I need to be godly as I go about my day.
Father you are great and greatly to be praised thank you for the many promises of your word and for the relationship that we share. Today may I live my life as a reflection of that relationship and may others see you in me.
