God Specializes

2 Peter 1:2-4King James Version (KJV)

2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Dear Friends,

The first day of a new month.  February 1, 2017 a time of new beginnings.  In the newness of the day that we are blessed to see we are greeted by the mercies of the Everlasting God. He is changeless in His character and constant in His faithfulness.

 Seasons change.  According to our calendar this happens in increments.  We have moved from January to February. In our part of the country/world it is still winter.  We live and move through each season of life by the grace of God.

Peter opens his letter with greetings or wishes for  multiplied grace and peace. This is God's will for us. We can have this increase though the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and the faithful application of His word to our lives.

The Lord has given us everything we need to make it through each season of life equipped to meet the challenges life presents and to grow closer to him in the process.

God specializes in the "all of life" for He is Lord of ALL.

I am reminded of a song from childhood that my Aunt led in the choir, God Specializes.  I can still hear the sound of her voice and the conviction with which she sang the song.

May the words (verses) penned by Gloria Griffin and recorded by numerous artists encourage you today:

Have you any rivers that seem uncrossable? And have you any mountain that you cannot tunnel through? God specializes in things thought impossible And He will do what no other no other power - Holy Ghost power can do.

 Have you ever been on your bed of affliction. And the doctors have done all they could do. But you heard somebody say, God specializes in healing all kinds of diseases. And He will do what no other doctor, no other physician can do.

God specializes.

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie
