"1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons: 2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." Philippians 1:1-2 NIV
Grace and peace. This is a fantastic way to greet people. Blessing them with God's grace and peace. Grace - God's undeserved favor towards you and I. God looking out for us. God, getting our back. God having our very best interest in His heart. Peace - A stillness and calm about life even in the midst of everyday life. A peace that allows us to move from fretting and frustration into a deeper faith in God. A peace that helps us sleep at night. A peace that clears our minds and hearts and allows us to enjoy life and relationships as we sit in traffic, correct mistakes at work, negotiate contracts, pay bills, study for exams, loose a game, and on and on the list goes.
Grace and peace. May we live in them a little bit today. Take a breath and ask God for that grace and peace and pray the same blessing for someone else right now.
Hope: To desire something with some confidence of fulfillment. A desire supported by some confidence in its fulfillment. A ground for expectation. To look forward. Expectation. Confidence. Anticipation. "Be joyful in hope..." Romans 12:12 "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit." Romans 15:13 "..my hope is in you all day long." Psalm 25:5b
