1 Corinthians 1:3
May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ give you grace and peace.
Here Paul gives his typical greeting with those two great qualities that bless the Christian of "grace and peace." But today what stands out to me is the fact that he mentions BOTH God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I don’t only have the Father concerned for me, or the Lord Jesus working on my behalf, but both of them are fully committed to me, zealous for my growth and well-being. What great company! In Christ I am part of a group. It is not just Jesus and me, but the Father and Son (and Holy Spirit) together walking with me and caring for me and guiding me and providing for me.
Dear Father and Lord Jesus, may I sense your company with me today wherever I go and whatever I do. Thank you that you are both committed to my growth and well-being.
