AM Edition for July 11
In this morning's episode, Chuck Spurgeon reflects on 1 Peter 5:10, discussing the enduring strength that comes from God's refining process through suffering. The devotional emphasizes the importance of having a faith and character that withstand the trials of life, becoming deeply rooted and unmovable.
Key Scripture:
- 1 Peter 5:10
Main Points:
Transient Beauty vs. Lasting Grace: The beauty of the rainbow is fleeting, but the virtues of a Christian character must be enduring and established. Believers are called to have an abiding faith and character that withstands the trials of life.
Establishing Faith: Our faith and character should be like inscriptions on a rock, not writings in the sand. This enduring faith is built from materials that can withstand trials, unlike the temporary faith of hypocrites.
Role of Suffering: The apostle Peter points out that suffering is the means by which God perfects, establishes, strengthens, and settles us. Like the oak tree that grows strong and deeply rooted through storms, Christians are made steadfast through life's trials.
Embracing Trials: Believers should not fear the storms of life but see them as tools God uses to fulfill His blessings. The rough winds of trial help to root and ground our faith deeply in God's love.
