His divine power has given to us
all things that pertain to life and godliness,
through the knowledge of Him
who called us by glory and virtue
2 Peter 1:3 NKJV
For the believer, there is the assurance that we can have everything we need to live a godly life.
Everything.
It might not be what we think we need, but in the end, we will see we had what we needed.
Knowing God is key to having all we need.
How do we know Him?
Reading His Word, talking to Him, listening to Him, and meeting with Him through the community of God's people.
Some feel they can leave out fellowship with the saints.
I respectfully disagree.
We need each other to encourage, uplift, keep us accountable, and by learning to get along, we help wear off the rough edges on each other.
I'm thankful for every way in which God chooses to meet my need!
