WHAT KIND OF SUFFERING MAKES US REJOICE

1 Peter 4:16

"Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name." ESV

Suffering is a human reality that no one escapes in this life. Most of the time we suffer because we've done something we shouldn't have done or we get caught in the crossfire of natural consequences. But how often has any of us suffered because we are Christians? If we suffer for that, we can rejoice and praise Him. He will honor us and bless us when we suffer for Him.

Lord, forgive us when we complain for suffering when it is our own doing or we are experiencing being a part of this world. When we suffer for being Your children, help us to rejoice and give You praise. In Your name we pray, Amen.

OUR BODIES BELONG TO HIM

1 Corinthians 6:20 ". . . for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." ESV

Before Jesus Christ offered His own body on the cross so that He might purchase us as His own, He created our bodies. He took all the consequences of our self-centeredness and sin by enduring a humiliating and cruel death. He had no sin, He took on all of ours. He bought us with His blood. If we accept His ownership of our lives, we will honor Him with our bodies by living pure and holy. We cannot repay Him in any other way.

Lord, how we praise You for the sacrifice You made for us to purchase us from the bondage of sin. Help us to live our lives so that we bring honor to You and draw others to You. In Your name we pray, Amen.
