In this life we will facing suffering at some point in our life. So if we are going to suffer we might as well suffer for the Lord, rather than because we disobeyed the Lord. Remember if we suffer because we are walking with Christ we will be rewarded in heaven. But if we suffer for doing wrong there is no reward. When we suffer for doing wrong, it is because we put ourselves in a situation or place where God would never have us. When we suffer for doing the right thing it is because the enemy doesn't like when God is moving and using us for his will. But God will always have the victory.
Prayer:
Lord use us to be your hands and feet. Give us boldness and courage to walk out your plans. Remove our fears and replace it with strength. We want our life to serve and honor you. We ask that you use us to do your work. Give us peace and strength in the suffering. Help us to shine our light for you, in Jesus name we pray Amen.
Verse:
Remember, it is better to suffer for doing good, if that is what God wants, than to suffer for doing wrong! 1 Peter 3:17 NLT
