"His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence..." 2 Peter 1:3
What "things" were granted? "ALL things that pertain to life and godliness..."
I have every thing my heavenly Father knows that I need to accomplish His will in my life. I lack nothing to be obedient to Him, if I do it in His power.

You may be the occasion, but you are never the cause.
"You make me so mad!" "Look what you made me do!" These are familiar words. But are they true? Not even close!
Paul Tripp states, "Your words and behavior are more formed by what is inside of you than what is outside of you. Other people may offer the occasion for our sin, but they are never the cause."
What a powerful insight into our day to day interactions. I can never control what a person says or does. I can, through the power of the Holy Spirit, control my response.
