already gifted

Oh how God has already gifted us.

This morning three of His gifts have come to mind- Freedom, Strength, and Capability.
In my scattered Bible reading today, i came across all three of these.

Galatians 5:1
It is for freedom that Christ has set you free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

Zachariah 8:13b
Do not be afraid, but let your hands be strong.

(It struck me that we have to "let" our hands be strong)

And

2 Timothy 3:16-17
All scripture is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

(God already knows we're capable because he has equipped us)

And with these three things - Freedom, Strength, and Capability -

There may yet be hope. Lamentations 3:29b

Oh how God has already gifted us.
