Brothers and Sisters 😊
📖 In First Peter chapter 5 today we see faithful living and obedience to Christ being ignited by (and connected to) several corresponding and guaranteed Gospel promises…
“Humble yourselves before God…and He will exalt you in due time” (vs 6),
“Cast all your cares on Him…because He cares greatly for you” (vs 7),
“Be sober-minded and watchful…God will protect you and keep you” (vs 8),
“Stand firm and resist the adversary… Knowing that God is with you, and you are not alone in the battle” (vs 9).
🙏 Heavenly Father thank you so much that all your paths are steadfast love and faithfulness, and that every promise you have made to us has found its yes and amen in Christ.
🙏 Lord Jesus we praise you today for your costly sacrifice and merciful plan of redemption, as you restore all things in your perfect timing – Please strengthen us that we may persevere to the end, and let the “Little while” of our lives be focused on the eternal glory that you purchased for us as blood-bought sinners on mission for you…
✝️ “After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To Him be the dominion forever and ever, Amen!”
1 Pet 5:10-11
