Today's Devotion: 1 Peter 4:19 (New International Version) - So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.

As Christians, some of us may be required to suffer. Peter says that this is a fact. In our suffering, we should be joyful. We will be blessed for our efforts.

Today's Comments: It has been a while since I have updated my blog. I am studying for my finals and am having all sorts of problems figuring out Contemporary Theology. While I "suffer" through my studies, this cannot be compared in any way, shape or form to the suffering that Christians in other countries suffer on behalf of Christ. Consider those in Communist China, for example. Christians there meet in secret, because their government will persecute them. It is even worse in Arab nations. Martyrdom still exists, and I can thank God that I live in a country where I can worship as I please.
