May grace and peace
be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God 
and of Jesus our Lord.
2 Peter 1:2 CSB
Grace and peace.
If there's 2 things we need more of grace and peace would be near the top. 
Peter's blessing for us comes through knowing God, knowing who He is. 
Reminding ourselves again of the big story of creation, the fall, Gods pursuit of us, and the coming of Jesus the redeemer.
The big story of the hope that we have that one day all will be made new.
All that hurt will be unhurt. 
All that is broken, restored, unbroken.
And knowing Jesus.
Not just knowing who He is, but knowing him as Lord. 
This is not about supporting Jesus team, but pledging allegiance, choosing to follow him, allow him to direct our paths, our choices. To let his words dwell in our hearts and minds. 
To worship Jesus as Lord 
King 
Redeemer
So today, may grace and peace
be multiplied to you and in you,
through the knowledge of God 
and of Jesus our Lord
Amen

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
