START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) 1 Peter 4:12
Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
THE PAINFUL TRIAL / 1 PETER 4:12
A focus of New Testament teaching is that troubles and difficulties are inevitable for faithful followers of Christ in an ungodly world controlled by Satan and opposed to Christ’s message. Those who are boldly devoted to Jesus Christ, who live by the guidance of the Holy Spirit and who love the truth of God’s Word will experience trouble and sorrow. In fact, suffering for the truth and cause of Christ is evidence of genuine devotion to Him (Matthew 5:10-12; Acts 14:22; Romans 8:17-18; 2 Timothy 2:12). Problems in your life may actually be a sign that God is pleased and confident of your faithfulness to Him. Tough times are characteristic of faithful spiritual warfare against sin, Satan and the ungodliness of the world (1 Peter 1:6-9; Ephesians 6:12). Through painful, faith-testing trials, God allows Christians to share in His suffering while He forms within them the quality of character He desires (Romans 5:3-5; 2 Corinthians 1:3-7; James 1:2-4). When you endure trials and remain faithful to Christ, you will be considered blessed, for “the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you” (1 Peter 4:14; 1 Peter 2:21).
