JUNE 9 – SUFFERING

June 9, 2017

06/09 1 Peter 4:12-14

Dear friends, don’t be surprised at the fiery trials you are going through, as if something strange were happening to you. 13 Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world. 14 If you are insulted because you bear the name of Christ, you will be blessed, for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you.

SUFFERING

Growth, real spiritual growth is intensified and expanded during times of suffering. Do not fear. The Lord is with you.
