By his divine
power, God has given us
everything we
need for living a godly life.
2 Peter 1:3 NLT
My husband has a new toy … I mean gadget. It’s a
large plastic gun that shoots salt—yes, I said salt—and kills flies and other
small insects. The amazing part is that it really works.
Charlie loves gadgets. He has almost every tool imaginable,
plus a variety of grills, smokers, and other cooking utensils. His other
devices include a plethora of electronics, car parts, building material, and
some items that leave me clueless. He has a hard time throwing anything away because
we might “need it” twenty years down the road. He always wants to be prepared
and has most everything that pertains
to anything.
This reminds me of one of my favorite Scriptures
that tells us God has fully armed us by giving us everything we need for living
a godly life. That means there is nothing lacking. It seems that, just like
Charlie wants to be prepared, God has made a way for all of us to be prepared
for whatever life throws at us—whether tomorrow or twenty years down the road.
You might not think of them as gadgets, but God
has equipped us with love, joy, peace, forgiveness, compassion, faith,
strength, healing, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, skill, talents, abilities,
creativity, and favor. The list goes on and on.
If you feel lacking in any area, ask God to show you the wonderful gifts He offers His children. All you have to do is receive.
