God's Favor

“Grace and peace to you from God our Father (and the Lord Jesus Christ*).” - Colossians 1:2b 

This is a common greeting the Apostle Paul started his letters with. What a kind & lovely thing to say to someone. God’s grace is His undeserved favor. His grace is transforming. It matures us and leads us deeper into the intimacy of our relationship with Christ. 

The fact of the matter is that God’s favor is ever upon us if we have received Christ and are striving to live for Him. As we draw closer to God, we will find that we are at peace more and more when facing trying situations. If God is for us what set of circumstances can defeat us ^{(Romans 8:31)}? The bare bones fact is that nothing can defeat us unless we allow it to because God’s favor is upon us. Live for God and be at peace. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
