Title: Unjust suffering......
Post by raydawg on 01/25/19 at 07:52:50

Man, when I throw myself a pity party, whine about how things are, not to my liking, how unfair things can be.
Its not long till I justify just what a chump I am..... :-[

I get mad, I get ugly, and I blame circumstances on others, falling deeper into the "self snare" I baited......YIKES! :o

This verse/thought, sure rights my thinking and....PERSPECTIVE, about what life really is all about all over this globe..... :)

Putting others first, it really works, for everyone! :)

For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God.
—1 Peter 2:19

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Unjust suffering! Ouch, even the sound of those words sends a chill up and down my spine. Such a thing doesn't seem fair or appropriate — and it probably isn't. Yet we have many brothers and sisters bearing up under pain and unjust suffering because of their commitment and loyalty to the only True God and to his Son, Jesus Christ. Wouldn't it be incredible if those of us who are not touched by terrible persecution or hardship would begin each day praying for those in our spiritual family who do face hardship, persecution, suffering, and mistreatment? As they display the grace of Christ in the face of such difficulty to honor God, let's pray that our Father will not only give them strength to endure, but that he will also deliver them soon!

My Prayer...

Holy and merciful Father, please bless your children today who suffer pain and hardship while displaying the grace of Jesus. Whether these problems are because of persecution or because of life's difficulties, I pray that you strengthen my brothers and sisters who are suffering. But Father, I know the only permanent answer for this suffering is for Jesus' return, so please send him soon. In the name of the Coming Lord Jesus I pray. Amen.
