Peace to you

{Daily Selah}

Peace is a recurring theme throughout all of Paul's epistles. He begins most of his letters with a salutation of peace.

He greeted to the Philippian church by saying, "Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ." (Philippians 1:2)

Paul deeply desired for his brothers and sisters in the Lord to know peace.

As we discussed here yesterday in Peace be still, Jesus is the Prince of Peace and true peace is found only in relationship with Him. 

When we have known His peace, grace, mercy  and love, we want to share it. We want others to know of the perfect peace, hope, joy and love we have experienced at our Savior's feet. 

Paul wanted his friends to know this place of blessed contentment and assurance in Christ also. "Peace to the brethren..." (Ephesians 6:23)

If you're reading this right now and you don't know peace, let me ask you something...

Do you know that Jesus gave His life for you and that your sins have been forgiven? 

If you do, then they only reason for lack of peace is a lack of focus on Him. Please think about that and refocus so He is foremost in your mind. Think about His promises to you in His Word and how faithful and trustworthy He has always been and always will be. Allow Him to pour His peace into your heart and life.

If you don't know what it means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, I really want you to know His peace too.

Peace to you.
