Greetings,
We read In 1 Peter 4:12-13 (NKJV) – “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; [13] but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.”
Have you ever felt like the temperature around you just got hotter? Does it seem as though everything that could go wrong has? If not right now, I’m sure that we all have experienced this at times. The good news is, that doesn’t mean that God has forsaken us. Rather we have been given an opportunity to share in His sufferings and give Him glory. God is with us.
If you’ll take your stand for God, He will show up for you! Let’s learn to rejoice— even when we’re suffering. He gladly and willingly suffered for us.
Father, I pray that You will look upon us any time we are in a season of fiery trials. We exalt You, for You are worthy of our devotion, both in the good times and the bad. Cover Your people, our nation, and our world. Help us remember that we are not alone, and that You will remain with us—even when the heat is on!
Today, I’m worshiping with Hillsong United and “Another in the Fire.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
