Revelation of the Word:

THEME: TEMPTATIONS

1 Peter 4:12-13 NKJV

“Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.”

INSIGHT

-Apostle Peter reveals that instead of being surprised at trials, we should rejoice in them. We should not think that something strange is happening when we suffer; after all, Jesus does tell us that we must take up our cross if we want to follow Him (Mark 8:34–35). We have been called to resist temptations even to a point of bloodshed while striving against sin. Resisting temptations is the chastening of the Lord, and the Lord chastens the ones He loves (Hebrews 12:4-6).

PRAYER

Thank You Abba Father for You are Good and Your mercies endures forever. Thank You for loving us so much that we cannot comprehend it fully. Thank You for choosing us and making us Your children dear Lord Jesus. Thank You for the grace to resist temptations and sin. May Your grace abound in us that we may always take up our cross and follow You. May You fight for us every battle dear Lord Jesus for the battle belongs to You. We honor You Lord and give You praise, and it is in Jesus name we pray. Amen

Blessed Thursday
