January 9 – TROUBLE AHEAD

Dear friends, don’t be confused and lose your way because you are mistreated and opposed, even when it’s extreme. You should expect that to happen. (I Peter 4:12)

                How do you respond when your very best efforts are frustrated, and even seem to cause problems rather than to solve them?

                Peter, who was clearly writing to people he loved, still was firm and very clear with them. As Jesus had said before, “There will be a great cost paid by each person who chooses to live God’s way.” Later in this letter (I Peter 4:16 & 19), Peter explains that you will suffer because God wills it for your good. He also says your response should be to, “praise God,” and “continue to do good.”

                Will you praise God while you are experiencing loss? Will you keep doing good when the world calls it bad?
