Living with Suffering
Jan 8, 2023 • Andy Fuqua
In times of suffering, we often ask 'why?' But perhaps the better question is 'how?' How do we endure suffering as followers of Christ? The message from 1 Peter 5 offers profound guidance. We're called to suffer with humility, acknowledging our need for God's strength. We're encouraged to trust in God's care, casting all our anxieties on Him. In our struggles, we must remain sober-minded, resisting the enemy's lies with the truth of our identity in Christ. Most importantly, we're reminded to hold onto hope, recognizing that our current sufferings are temporary in light of eternity. This perspective shift can transform how we navigate life's challenges, anchoring us in God's love and promises even in our darkest moments.
