Last night I was supposed to read 1 Peter 5 for my devotions...but God had other plans, because I "accidentally" read chapter 4 again. Look what He was showing to me:
verses 4-5: They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation [referring to the debauchery, lust, drunkenness, idolatry etc from verse 3], and they heap abuse on you. But they will have to give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
verse 8: Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
verse 12-14: Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rest on you.
Thank you Jesus! I am right where you want me!
PS: to understand why this post/scripture is significant to me right now you might have to go back to yesterday's post "I Miss..." and then last night's post of "Thoughts From My Boy:"
