Today’s scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:16-18
As we finish our journey through Paul’s second letter to the church at
Thessalonica, I leave you with the same words he wrote to them: “… may the Lord of peace Himself continually
grant you peace in every circumstance.”
No matter what happens, we can experience God’s peace. It’s a supernatural
peace that doesn’t make sense to our human minds. How can we have peace through
the pain? Through sorrow? Through times of hopelessness? By trusting God in all
things and at all times. By taking our needs to Him. In another letter, this
one to the church at Philippi, Paul wrote: “Be anxious for nothing, but in
everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be
made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all
understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (4:6-7,
NKJV). Then the final words of Paul to the Thessalonian Christians: “The grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.”
God’s grace … unmerited favor. Getting what we don’t deserve. It’s available to
everyone who seeks it. And it covers us at all times.
God bless you!
