However there is always a cost to following Christ and as 1 Peter 4:4 points toward, when we abstain from worldly standards, we will be “maligned”.

Moreover, he increases the effect of the exhortation by saying that they had performed glorious exploits even then when they were as yet raw recruits: the more shame then would it be if they should faint now after having been exercised by long practice.

Wednesday
Read Hebrews 10:32-39 in a different translation or paraphrase.*
Which group do you normally align with in your daily life, “those who shrink back” or those “who have faith and persevere,” and why?
What is something you can do to be a person that doesn’t shrink back in the face of suffering?
Pray today for the country Somalia, the third most dangerous country for Christians to exist. With a country of over 15 million, there are maybe only a hundred Christians. Please pray for those that are Christians and will face great persecution. Pray that God continues to raise up people to share the gospel with a people group deep into a culture that is very dangerous for Christians.
