Suffering for Right

6/27/2015

0 Comments

 
"For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.  For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit." -I Peter 3:17-18 (NASB)
We have probably all come across people in our lives that seem to be rewarded for doing the wrong thing.  Maybe it's a boss that has been promoted, even though he or she has not demonstrated a competency.  Maybe it's an acquaintance or "celebrity" that seems to make money and live comfortably in less than honest ways.  We may feel be frustrated by what we see, but we must remember that the rewards of this world are nothing when compared to the rewards of God!

We are reminded (I Peter 3:17-18) that we may suffer for doing what is right.  Many people of the world may turn their backs on God's principles.  The world may persecute us for holding onto God's principles.  However, even though we may suffer now for doing what is right, God has not abandoned us.  God has sent His Son to redeem us.  Through belief in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we can be reassured that our suffering now will turn to the greatest glory in the arms of God!

We may suffer now for doing what is right, but God will reward us!

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for loving me and for Your redemptive plan for my life.  Help me to hold tight to what is right, even if the face of suffering, and allow me to experience Your eternal glory.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
