Paul's Blessing

The Apostle Paul wrote many letters that are recorded in the New Testament of the Bible. He wrote these letters to the new and growing churches in different locations shortly after Jesus' death and resurrection to teach them the way of Christ Jesus.

I have always noticed that Paul closes many of his letters with beautiful words of blessing for the people he wrote to. Paul prayed for the people he was teaching. He wanted them to be blessed by God because of their faith in Jesus. Look at what he wrote to the church in Corinth:

"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you." 1 Corinthians 16:23

We need to be offering prayer, petition, and words of encouragement for others on a more regular basis.

Today is a big traveling day for families and people all around our nation for Thanksgiving. My prayer is for everyone to have safe travels and to experience a truly thankful Thanksgiving!
