2 Peter 3:18 reads, “grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” To “grow in grace” means to mature spiritually and become more like Christ by deepening your understanding of and dependence on God’s unmerited favor. The dictionary tells us the verb “grace” means do honor or credit to someone or something by one’s presence, one’s actions, one’s words. Do we do this, try to mature spiritually and become more Christ like? Back in the 1990’s a saying came out “What Would Jesus Do” (WWJD). People had pins they wore, bracelets, rubber bracelets, Christmas ornaments, crosses with these letters on them, window hangings, and bummer stickers. There was a real movement, and people were asking WWJD before doing something. Today and throughout the day, ask yourself before you speak or do something WWJD. And if Jesus would not say what you want to say—then don’t say it. If Jesus would not do what you want to do—then don’t do it. Find time to be alone with God. Read the Bible. Pray, meditate, listen to Christian music. Strive to grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord. You might just find that you have a more rewarding day. God Bless. Amen.
