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 unto glory and virtue.”

2 Peter 1:3 KJV

Everything we need to live a godly life has been provided for us. The Lord Jesus did not redeem us and then abandon us.  The moment we were redeemed, He sent the Holy Spirit to indwell us, teach us, guide us, strengthen us, and empower us to be all that He desires for us to be.  The scripture is clear.  He has given “us all things that pertain unto life and godliness”.  It is already ours. 

The ability to honor Him in every area of our life is found in Him!  He is the One who enables us to live for Him!   Our responsibility is to simply learn from Him.  That requires being intentional in spending time with Him.  We learn from Him by opening and reading His Word.  We learn from Him by listening to Him.  We learn from Him by simply obeying what He says we are to do.   It really is not that hard.  The only time it is hard is when we do not want to do what He asks us to do because we naively think we know more than He does.   

This  Learning is an ongoing, lifelong process.  The wonder of Jesus is that we can never learn all that there is to learn.  Because we can always learn more than we currently know. As we intentionally grow, little by little,  in our knowledge of Him, we become more and more conscious of Him actively working in our lives.  That consciousness deepens and enhances the joy in our relationship with Him. The Christian life then becomes an exciting adventure!   

So, let us not be intimidated by the fact that we feel as if we are not spiritual enough, knowledgeable enough, or strong enough to live a life that pleases and honors the Lord; especially in a world that is diametrically opposed to Him. No.  He has already provided for us everything that we need. All we are required to do is to simply follow Him. He will take care of everything else.
