Since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude.
1 Peter 4:1a
Satisfaction and suffering can both hinder sanctification. Full nets can cause us to lose focus. Empty nets can cause us to lose expectations (John 21:3). Our position in Christ becomes personal through suffering. “Because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin”(1 Peter 4:1b). Weak faith is never obvious when winning life. Belief is proven when we bear the burdens. Decide today that all situations are worthy of obedience.
Pray to remain in the Word and rely on the Spirit.
