One of the single most powerful passages Scripture in the whole Bible, in my opinion!

I love this passage of Scripture.  Another foundational passage as it were.

2 Timothy 3:16-17(NKJV)

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 

that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

God gives us all we need to be "thoroughly equipped for every good work".  So let there be no doubt, if you are constantly seeking God's will in your life and you are letting Him direct you, He will lead you to succeed in the good works He has inspired you to undertake. 

That doesn't mean that everything will go smoothly and everything will be easy.  As I wrote the other day, some life lessons can only be learned from adversity and so we have to know how to take adversity in stride.  We just need to keep in mind that adversity doesn't necessarily mean not ever, it just means not yet.

Now what is the key to dealing with not yet?  Come on now.  I've written about it so often I know you all know the answer.  All together now.

"Take joy in your tribulations!"  And why do we take joy in our tribulations?  "Because it is an outward expression of our inner faith!" 

Never forget and never doubt for a minute, if you are a "Child of God", God has your back!  If you aren't a "Child of God" then not so much.

There are many who would argue that we are all "Children of God" because God made us all.  According to Scripture that is incorrect.  Take a look.

John 1:12(NKJV)

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: 

Receive who?  Jesus!  According to all I have read in Scripture, there is one way and only one way that you become a "Child of God".  That is by accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. 

Have you done that yet?  Have you asked Jesus to come in to your life and lead you?  It's easy.  Why not do it right now?  Just have a conversation with Jesus.  "Dear Jesus…."
