All we need... 2 Peter 1:3-4 3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. I read a story about Crowfoot, the chief of the Blackfoot Indians in southern Alberta, Canada. Crowfoot gave the Canadian Pacific Railroad permission to cross the Blackfoot land from Medicine Hat to Calgary. In return, the railroad gave Crowfoot a lifetime pass to ride on the railway. He put it in a leather case and wore it around his neck for the rest of his life. But there is no evidence that he ever used it to travel anywhere on the Canadian Pacific trains. We may think that this neglect to use his pass is a terrible waste, but many Christians are just like him in not taking advantage for themselves of the unlimited promises of God. They may put them up on display, but practically they never actually use God’s promises in their daily lives. We are Gods children, we need to call on Him when we have needs... But not just when we feel we cant do it on our own, for all needs, always. This is a great promise made to His children. Are you His child? Then put it is to practice. If your not His child, then put that right first
