In all this you greatly rejoice though now, for a little
while, you may have to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 1 Peter 1:6
A friend of mine reminded me today of a
Bible study we did a few years ago. That study gave us real insight into the
over-all big picture of life, death and eternity. The apostle Peter reminds us
that we have an inheritance that can never perish, spoil, or fade.
We have a living hope. Through faith we
are shielded with God’s mighty power. We
can greatly rejoice because of our inheritance to come. Included in Peter’s words are, “for a little
while.”
Our grief and suffering, our trials are
for just a little while. Keep it in perspective. Today…a little while…ETERNITY!!! Forever and ever, we will rejoice
forever. Look up and rejoice.
Father,
We rejoice in your
Son and in the living hope we have now and forevermore. Keep the joy of our
salvation alive in our hearts even through the sufferings of this life. It’s
for a little while.
In Jesus name,
Amen
