Where is God in the midst of suffering? We've all gone through a lot over this past year, but it's still nothing compared to the suffering Christians endured during the time of the Apostle Peter. Peter reminds his readers - then and now - that they can rejoice in God's love, presence, and sovereignty even in the midst of trials, as they are being used to test us, refine us and form us into the image of Jesus.
