Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace is the ability of God that operates in us who believe. It is by Grace, apostle Paul confidently chanted the favourite statement, “I can do all things …!” There is a dimension of Grace that works in our spirit men in a way I would want to liken to the operation of an energy drink. I comes to enhance our what we can do. Then, another level of Grace comes to enable to us become what we were not. Hallelujah!
Peace works like an anchor that stabilises the ship of our life. It’s job is to keep us afloat and stable amidst every turbulence that life may present. The LORD said He has given us His Peace (see John 14v17) and the apostle re-echoes it that this peace acts like garrison roundabout our hearts. Like soldiers that guard fortresses, the peace of God resident in our spirit at salvation through Jesus Christ, we must allow this peace to guard our hearts indeed.
May The LORD grant us that enabling ability to see the beauty of life with a garrisoned heart that is full of His Grace and His power.
