Waving wildly from Los Angeles!!
Oh have I been busy!
Getting grandson ready for private school..
Trying to get some much needed housework done...
Had more testing done and all with good results, Praise God.
Just vegging out at a slower pace.

I will try and " stroll backwards" and catch up if possible at Amy's!!

Grace, Mercy, And Peace

July 20, 2010

The words grace and peace are found in all of Paul’s greetings in his New Testament letters to the churches. And in his letters to Timothy and Titus, he also includes mercy: “Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord” (2 Tim. 1:2). Let’s examine each of these words.

Grace is what our holy God gives that we, as sinful people, don’t deserve. In Acts 17:25, we learn that “He gives to all life, breath, and all things.” His gifts include our very next breath. Even in our darkest hour, strength is given by God so that we can endure.

Mercy is what God withholds that we do deserve. In Lamentations 3:22, we read, “Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed.” Even when we’re wayward, God gives time and help for us to turn back to Him.

Peace is what God brings to His people. Jesus said: “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you” (John 14:27). Even in the worst of times, we have inner tranquillity because our God is in control.

We can be encouraged that throughout our lives the Lord will give us the grace, mercy, and peace we need to live for Him.

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added affliction He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace. —Flint

God’s grace is immeasurable, His mercy is inexhaustible, His peace is inexpressible.

Read: 2 Timothy 1:1-10

Bless the Lord, . . . who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies. —Psalm 103:1,4

Bible in a year:
Psalms 26–28 & Acts 22

“Psalm 145:8-10 (Young’s Literal Translation)

8.Gracious and merciful [is] Jehovah, Slow to anger, and great in kindness.

9.Good [is] Jehovah to all, And His mercies [are] over all His works.

10.Confess Thee O Jehovah, do all Thy works, And Thy saints do bless Thee.”
