Lovingkindness, Compassion and Faithfuless
Posted By Joe on February 11, 2009
In the midst of trials, pain, suffering, or just a lack of faith, we need something to get us through. It's often that it's simply enough to know God's character.
This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The Lord's lovingkindnesses, indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. --Lamentations 3:21-23.
Simple words, but so much truth packed in to them.
Is there a passage or verse that helps get you through?
May He Increase!
About the author
"Therefore let those who suffer according to God's will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good." 1 Peter 4:19
"In this one verse is summarized the teaching of the entire letter. Christians do not suffer accidentally or because of the irresistible forces of blind fate; rather, they suffer according to God's will. . . . Therein lies the knowledge that there is a limit to the suffering, both in its intensity and in its duration, a limit set and maintained by the God who is our creator, our savior, our sustainer, our Father."
Wayne Grudem, The First Epistle of Peter, page 184.
This was awesome. I loved the way the explanation is worded that God sets the limits. Thank you, Ike.
