“Grace and Peace be Multiplied to You…”
2
Peter 1:2
Who would not
want this blessing? The world continues
to “seem” to spin faster…with instant information, knowledge, and ease of
comparing ourselves to others in this world…looking for hope and continual frustration
with our days is almost inescapable…
Would not everyone
LOVE to receive abundant grace and peace today???
There are certainly
many ways to find peace. But, as a believer in Christ, we have been GIVEN this
promise to ALWAYS receive it, as we put our Faith and knowledge IN God and His
beloved son Jesus.
The words “I
AM” in the bible speak to the authority and THE Name of God. “I AM” appears 719 times
in the Bible! 508 times in the Old Testament, and 211 times in the New Testament.
Most people
have heard the name of “God.” And it is
a personal choice to embrace a Divine maker.
The thing is, is that whether you choose to embrace God...HE embraces
you! The bible says HE cares deeply for
you…if you would just turn to Him…cast your cares upon Him…you would receive
this promise of “Grace and Peace” upon request.
1 Peter 5:6-7
It is
humility…HE seeks…and pride often gets in the way of a humble heart. But does pride always produce Grace and
Peace?
Embracing a
posture of humility is not easy, but God promises to reward the humble
heart….and it is in this posture that He begins to reveal Himself to you. With each step of trust, a humble heart
begins to receive the great mystery* that is God…God is NOT dead…as many quote
these days. He is ALIVE and seeking more
who will humble themselves. The blessing
is ALWAYS Grace and Peace…
And who would
not want to always receive Grace and Peace?
There is HOPE in God…there is PEACE that surpasses all understanding…and
it starts with a humble heart…the Lord will do the rest…Amen
Prayer:
Father God, I
too have been doing life on my own terms, thinking more about me…than HE…I
desperately want to feel some peace, and receive your grace in my life…you are
a great mystery to me, but today I ask you to begin to soften and mold my heart
to receive humility. As I take this baby
step of trust, I accept the free gift of your grace and peace in my life. As you transform my heart, reveal yourself to
me…and the plans that you would have for my life. I seek to know you more…to learn about the “gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the
revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages” Romans
16:25
Thank you for
loving and seeking me today…Amen
*1
Corinthians 2:7 the wisdom we speak of is the mystery
of God--his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our
ultimate glory before the world began.
