Today's Scripture *June 1, 2009*
1 Peter 4: 1-2
So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin. You won't spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but you will be anxious to do the will of God.
Suffering helps us to be like Christ, yet people will do anything to avoid pain. Followers of Christ, however, should be willing and prepared to do God's will and to suffer for it if necessary. We can overcome sin when we focus on Christ and what He wants us to do. Pain and danger reveal our true values. Anyone who suffers for doing good and still faithfully obeys in spite of suffering has made a clear break with sin.
Thank You Lord Jesus for Your Word!
Write it upon our hearts we pray, O God.
In Your Name, Amen..
Have a blessed week!
Love April
