” SO BE TRULY GLAD. THERE IS WONDERFUL JOY AHEAD, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE TO ENDURE MANY TRIALS FOR A LITTLE WHILE.” 1 PETER 1:6
” THE REWARD FOR TRUSTING HIM WILL BE THE SALVATION OF YOUR SOULS.” 1 PETER 1:9
Trusting in things that we have never seen is a really hard thing to do. Living a life in this physical world by totally trusting our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ requires a totally concentrated trust in his spiritual presence within a physical world. Most of us were not brought up to live a spiritual life. We were brought up to believe in what we can see. However, when we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we turned our lives over to him. We became a babe in Christ. We began to grow spiritually and to be trained in the ways of our Jesus. We are told in 1 Peter 1:6 that we are to be joyful even though there will trials ahead of us. These trials and temptations will be used to test our faith in the Lord. They will be used to make our faith stronger each time we go through a trial. We must keep our focus on the end result. We must keep our eyes on Jesus! We must trust the Holy Spirit to direct us and use his power to gain victory over the evil that confronts us. When we do, we will gain the ultimate reward, the salvation of our souls. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
