2 PETER 1:2
"May God give you MORE AND MORE grace and peace as you grow in your knowledge of God and Jesus Christ our Lord."
Peace, peace and there is no peace. That represents the lives of non believer's. They never know the peace that passes understanding. The peace that comes from the grace and salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ. The peace that allows us to go through the trials of this world with the complete knowledge and understanding that we are just passing through and our heavenly reward is yet to come. What can men do to us or our body, nothing! We fear the one who has control over our eternal soul and our renewed heavenly body. That is why we have peace and that is why it passes over the understanding of non believer's.
The truth for today however addresses the believer and is a prayer we should all want to come true in our own lives. It is understood that we will have peace and grace in this world, the question is how much. Peter is praying that God will give us MORE AND MORE peace and grace as our journey with the Lord continues. We know that this is the truth because we have experienced it in our lives. The more we learn about the Lord, the more peace and grace we have. The knowledge of His Word is powerful and helpful. It gives us reassurance and security to know His truth, which sets us free.
We should all pray that the Lord will give us MORE AND MORE of His love, grace and peace. The way to ensure this is to continually grow in your knowledge of God and His Word. The more you understand the Lord and His plan, the more confident you will become in His promises. He has assured us of eternal life with Him if we just believe Him and His Word. We need to read and understand His promises as given by the prophets, commandments and Laws of God. The more they are a part of our lives, the more and more grace and peace we will have. It is the personification of the justice and fairness that is God.
