SEPTEMBER 25, 2023
Titus 1:4
“May God the Father and Christ Jesus our
Savior give you grace and peace.”
I believe of all the things we could ever desire for
someone, or of all the ways we could say what you genuinely want another to experience,
to form a sentence to offer someone encouragement; these words that Paul uses
to open his letter to Titus might just be one of the most reassuring sentences
we could offer.
May God, give you grace and peace. Now these words, may
have been written a long time ago, but they are still a powerful inspiration
for us today.
Grace - may you find favor with God.
Peace - may you feel calm today, even in the midst of chaos.
I just want to say, that whatever you’re facing today,
whatever is “heavy” on your mind right now, whatever worry, uncertainty, or
fear you may have; remember it is no match for the grace and peace of
God.
Our faith in Jesus Christ is well placed, for he alone is
the savior of the world, he alone as we said last Friday “Is Our Peace.” Jesus
is the one who gives grace and peace to all who put their confidence in
him.
So today, would you receive these words, repeat them often, and let them sink down deep into your soul. “May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior give you grace and peace.”
Grace and peace.
Grace and peace. ...
Perhaps today, each of us would be on the look out for
opportunities to share this Grace and Peace with those we encounter. I pray
that as we do, God may give you and me grace and peace too.
Amen.
