1 Peter 3

"But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed."

Suffering is part of life. We would like to escape suffering. We hope that God would remove any suffering that we face. Unfortunately, suffering is part of life. What makes it even worse is that sometimes we suffer when we have done the right thing. But even in the midst of suffering we are blessed. The critical issue becomes where our attention is. Is our attention on the parts of our lives that are difficult? Is our attention on parts of our lives where we are blessed?

  1. I know we should be thankful for our suffering - but that is very difficult to do! However, we do know that our Lord suffered only for us and that His suffering was the worst kind. I thank God for His most amazing grace and love - and for His promise to be with us - no matter what!
