IT’S ALREADY THERE!

There was a commercial not too long ago for Prego

spaghetti sauce. A mother is cooking the spaghetti and the pot is full

of what looks like a vibrant, red spaghetti sauce. The aroma appears

to be filling the house.

The son comes up and looks at his mother cooking the sauce

and asks, “Mom, where are the mushrooms?” She says, “It’s in there.”

“But what about the sausage?” “Why, it’s in there.” “What about the

ripe tomatoes?” “It’s in there!”

Prego’s spaghetti sauce had kick and flavor because of what

was already inside. Every time the boy looked for something to explain

what he smelled, his mother would reply, “It’s already in there.”

If you’re looking for victory - it’s in the Bible. If you’re looking for

spiritual transformation - it’s already there. If you’re looking for power -

it’s in there. If you’re looking for deliverance - it’s in there too. If you’re

looking for a brand new you - it’s already there. God has already

given you everything you need and it’s all available every time you

open God’s Word (2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Peter 1:3)!
