Stand | Stand Firm

How do you react when suffering comes? Maybe you're going through a struggle right now. Maybe you've prayed that God would take it away but it's still with you. Peter says sometimes God takes those things away, sometimes He helps you get over it, or around it, and sometimes He just takes you right through it.

Peter wants to help us see we have to STAND FIRM. Life's not always easy, it's a call to perseverance. In his letter in 1 Peter, he is trying to help his readers suffer well. To continue to live well and walk with Christ, who also suffered, and find encouragement in that.

When others are running for cover from the storm, you are called to STAND FIRM, just like Jesus did. Sometimes we have to stand under it in order to get through it.
