Has your life been difficult lately? Are you suffering through life? Do you think the enemy is against you and you only? Are you fighting with all your strength today yet questioning or doubting tomorrow? Do you feel like God has forgotten you, that He doesn't have time for you, or that He doesn't hear your prayers? Let me share God's refreshing truth found in
1 Peter 5: 8-11
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen."
Father, your Word is true. I look to the day when you will restore your creation fully but until that glorious day comes, I will find my strength in You. I claim your promises today for my life. Help me to stand firm in the Lord Jesus. Hold me close. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

"...after you have suffered a while..." I like that eternal perspective. Lord, give us the eyes of Your Spirit. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
