1 Peter
2:19
"For it is
commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they
are conscious of God." NIV
"For this is
thank-worthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering
wrongfully." KJV
Do we really know
what it is to suffer for God's sake? Are we acquainted with persecution for our
Christian beliefs? Unfortunately, we complain when life's troubles come our way,
even after Jesus told us we would have the world's tribulations while we are
here. All people suffer those trials. If we have difficulty standing under the
normal problems of this world, how will we stand when we are suffering unjust
punishment for standing for our Lord and Saviour? If we will commit our lives
totally to the Lord, in obedience and faith, He will be with us to stand under
the pain of suffering for Him.
Heavenly Father,
forgive us for complaining about the problems we experience as humans in this
world. Give us focus on You and how we live our lives here on this earth so that
when persecution due to our faith in You comes, we will be ready to stand strong
and victoriously by Your grace. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray,
Amen.
