Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. - 2 Peter 1:2
Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord (KJV)
If you would like to walk in a greater measure of God's favour, 2 Peter 1:2 says that grace, which is the undeserved favour of God, and peace, can be multiplied to you. Peace is the word "shalom" in Hebrew. Its definition includes wholeness, health and prosperity. So when you walk in divine favour and peace, you walk in blessings in every area of your life!
But how does the undeserved favour and shalom of God increase in your life? It is not by your labouring or toiling to earn it. The Bible says that it comes as your knowledge of Jesus and His finished work increases. It comes as you learn more about and believe that through Jesus' one sacrifice at the cross, God removed all your sins, gave you His righteousness as a gift and put you in Christ to enjoy everything that Jesus has. God's favour is multiplied in your life when you simply believe that the favour of God that is on Christ is also on you because of what Jesus' work at the cross has accomplished.
Today, you don't have to struggle for favour. Speak forth God's Word in faith. On your way to work, remind yourself, "God's favour surrounds me as with a shield." (Psalm 5:12) As you continue to speak we are reminded of God's favour over our lives through the revelation of Jesus' finished work. When we remind ourselves more, I believe we will "see" it more.
