Philippians 1:2 NKJV

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

In Jewish culture, they don’t say, “hello” and “good-bye”, but instead they always greet each other with the blessing, ”shalom!” which means "peace unto you." They believe that a blessing of peace is one of the greatest blessings one can give and receive and therefore they bless each other with it. 

But Jesus Christ brought grace too, which is the loving-kindness and favor of God! Therefore in his opening letter, Paul blesses the Philippian church with not just peace but, “grace to you and peace from God”.

You can only give to others what you have. If you don’t live in the grace and peace of God, you can’t bless others with it. Paul enjoyed God’s grace and peace even while he was in prison! 

2 Peter 1:2 NLT

May God give you more and more grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus our Lord. 

Grace and peace increase in our life as we begin to know God more and more! As we begin to grow in revelation knowledge. This is a great time to get to know God more than ever before! May you and I enjoy God’s favor and peace in this time and be full and ready to bless others, too! 

Meditate:

* Revelation 1:4 ESV

John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come... 

Pray: 

* Ask God to reveal Himself to you more and more, so that you may grow in grace and peace.

* Surrender every fear and anxiety to the Lord and settle down in His grace and peace again. 

* Bless your family with grace and peace in the name of our Lord.
