Having What it Takes




 Sometimes I don't feel up to the struggles in my day. I fear that I won't have what it takes. I have to set my mind to remember what God's word says is true regardless of how I am feeling.

We have everything we need for life and godliness".
II Peter 1:3


Sometimes I feel like I don't have the tools or the stamina or the ability to deal with some of life's struggles. But God says I have everything I need. This moves me to dig deeper...keep pushing...never give up...the tools I need are available....the intelligence the strength the endurance...everything I need to deal with this life and to become more like Him is available to me.



"All things are possible for anyone who believes"
Mark 9:23


All...that includes everything. This gives me a lot of comfort. No matter what I'm looking at...though it appears impossible I know that Jesus said All and He does not lie. The only limitations in the word All are the ones I allow to be included. This is an astounding truth. I know I have lived way too much of my life with faith that is not even close to believing All.
