ALTAR EGO 35 Day Devotional Day 5 As God’s masterpiece, God has not only created you for a purpose, but you also have everything you need to do everything God wants you to do. God never gives you an assignment and forgets to give you the gifts you need to accomplish it. Unfortunately, we too often focus on what we don’t have instead of what we do have. We focus on what we can’t do instead of what we can do. We focus on what we’re not instead of what we are. God gave you certain gifts to do everything He has called you to do. Whenever you hear those voices that tell you you’re not good enough, remember that you were created for the Master’s purpose and you have everything you need to do everything God wants you to do. How has God equipped you to carry out His purposes? Everything that goes into a life of pleasing God has been miraculously given to us by getting to know, personally and intimately, the One who invited us to God. The best invitation we ever received! We were also given absolutely terrific promises to pass on to you—your tickets to participation in the life of God after you turned your back on a world corrupted by lust. So don’t lose a minute in building on what you’ve been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others. With these qualities active and growing in your lives, no grass will grow under your feet, no day will pass without its reward as you mature in your experience of our Master Jesus. Without these qualities you can’t see what’s right before you, oblivious that your old sinful life has been wiped off the books. So, friends, confirm God’s invitation to you, his choice of you. Don’t put it off; do it now. Do this, and you’ll have your life on a firm footing, the streets paved and the way wide open into the eternal kingdom of our Master and Savior, Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:3-11 MSG)
