2 Peter 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

What a glory of God it is that He has blessed us with a means as to know all things that relate to godly living and eternal life! By His almighty power, He has gifted us His Pure Word. By His power, grace and faithfulness, we have a Book that contains the words of life itself! We need not go anywhere else, and we need not trouble ourselves with the empty musings of lost and worldly men. 

It is a singular fountain of joy that waits to burst forth into our hearts each time we open its blessed pages, as we seek the face of our Lord through His Word the Holy Bible! Again, let us revel and marvel in the grace and goodness of God, that He has hidden no secret knowledge of salvation from us! 

That open invitation to peace with God through repentance of sin and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, is refreshed in our hearts each time we delight in His Word! It is by truly knowing who our Lord and Saviour is, that we are made godly in our ways. For without earnest study of His Word, how can we claim to know how He wishes us to live and how we are to serve Him each day?! 

It is by true heartfelt knowledge of who Jesus Christ is and His Pure Word, that we are reminded that we are called to share in His eternal glory! What a strengthening of heart this is to us as we battle against powers and principalities of the air each day! We are called to serve the King of kings and to do so with virtue or a strong faith. Yet how can we step forward into spiritual battle each day with a knowledge of Christ assured victory, if we do not remind ourselves of His eternal power and majesty?! 

Again, let us praise the goodness of God, for blessing us with all we have need of to seek after Him; to find Him in the blessed form of the Son that is the Lord Jesus Christ; and then to serve Him in a godly manner that speaks of His gracious love. All this then is done for the glory of God! Oh, such are the glories of God that wait to be shared with every heart that delights in true knowledge of Christ Jesus and His Word! Amen.
