HOPE is Here

When we get to Friday, we might be a little fatigued, a little tired and weary. Today’s broadcast offers 14 minutes of strength. Great is God’s faithfulness! But sometimes the enemy will keep us stuck in a season. Christine Caine “Sometimes the best thing you can do is simply move on.” Knock the dust off of your feet and keep on down the road. Be kind. Be thoughtful. But most of all, be thankful. Thankfulness in all circumstances will keep you moving forward.

Let’s look at 1 Peter 2:21-25 again today and study how Jesus did good, even when he was going through unimaginable suffering. What are you dealing with right now? Marriage issues, addiction, personal conflict, work struggles? If you’re not going through something, you’ve just finished going through something or you’re getting ready to go through something. Suffering is common. Jesus sets an example on how to get through suffering and still do good.

This world is not my home. God is with you in the suffering. He doesn’t cause it. He doesn’t like it. But he’s with us through it. God calls us to do good, even if it’s through suffering. That’s hard, isn’t it? But Jesus went through more suffering than we could imagine, and we can follow his lead. Greg takes a peek at 1 Peter 2:21-25 to study how Jesus did it.

How are you doing at “walking beside the peaceful streams” in your life? Not so great? Are you having trouble even finding any peace? Psalm 23 promises that Jesus would lead us beside the still waters… He gives us supernatural strength that only He can provide. We have to ask for His help and allow Him to be our shepherd. He loves to help us and we are never alone.
