"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ"
Today's Bible Verse: 1 Peter 3: 14-16
"And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? But if you should suffer for righteousness sake you are blessed. "And do not be afraid of their threats nor be troubled." But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having good conscience that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil."
Since everything in the sin filled world does not function as it should because of sin, we as Christians will and may undergo suffering. Peter gave the following guidelines to the Christians response to unjust suffering:
(1) Do not fear
(2) Remember Christ is Lord
(3) Remain hope filled and willing to explain why you are still positive about life (What a
testimony that will be)
(4) Keep on doing good so you will have a clear conscience, and your enemies will be ashamed
(5) Remember, it's better to suffer for the Lord, than to suffer for a wrong that we have done.
We as Christians, should make certain that when, or if we suffer, it is because we have served God faithfully, and not because we have done something wrong. God specially honors those who suffer for doing what is right (Matthew 5:10-12).
Today's Hymn: "God Is Good All The Time"
If you are walking through the valley, and there are shadows all around
Do not fear, He will guide you, He will keep you safe and sound
"Cause He's promised to never leave you, Nor forsake you and His Word is true
God is Good, God is good
All the time
Heavenly Father, How good it is to know, that when we suffer unjustly for our faith in You, that You have promised us that You would not forsake nor leave us and that You, would be there for us every step of the way. May others see Jesus in us, so that when they ask us, "Why are you so happy", we can then boldly tell them about You."
Amen
