When you get to know God and His Son Jesus Christ, according to 2 Peter 1:2, grace and peace are multiplied unto you. If you look closely at the tenses in the next verse, you will notice something that has also become yours. “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain to life and godliness…” (2 Peter 1:3).
God’s divine power has already given unto us all things that pertain to life and godliness. The Scripture is in the present perfect tense; it is not a promise. He has already done it. His divine power has already given us all things that we need for life and godly living. There’s no need for us to lack anything for a good life!
The Psalmist said in the twenty-third chapter, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Understand and imitate his mentality. You should not lack because the Lord is now your Shepherd. He makes you lie down in green pastures, He leads you beside the still waters, He restores your soul (Psalm 23:3). His leading is going on now.
You have to refuse lack and the lack mentality. How do you do this? Be supply-conscious! Don’t be afraid of your supply drying up. Rather, look to your ever-loving Shepherd who supplies your every need according to His riches in glory.
Two men were asked the level of fuel in the tank. One answered, “It’s half-empty.” The other looked and happily declared, “It’s half-full!” Definitely, the first man was lack-conscious while the second was supply-conscious. Learn to be supply-conscious today.
Know this: If you’re a child of God, your life is in His hands. This is why you can say like the Psalmist, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want for money; I shall not want for shelter; I shall not want for food; I shall not want for protection; I shall not want for direction; I shall not want for any good thing in this life!” Glory to God!
