1 PETER 4:12-13 REJOICE EVEN IN SUFFERING


S - Dear Friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.

O - 1. Be not surprised at the tests come on you.
2. rejoice as we participate in Christ suffering
3. When his glory is revealed we will be overjoyed.

A - The secret to Christian life is finding joy in Christ , whatever may be the situation. There might be trials and tribulations in my life but they are only tests to build my character and transform to his image. I need to rejoice even in my trials since I am not alone and my helper and guide dwells in me. If I am able to undergo the trail with joy then when his glory is revealed my joy will know no bounds.

P - Precious Father, Enable me to have my hope on you and not anything or anyone of this world. I can find joy only if I have my life set on you. I acknowledge that you are with me and I feel your love. Enable me to walk worthy of the grace that you have shown upon me. Help me overcome difficult situation with your strength.
In Jesus Name I pray
AMEN
