April 26
Introduction
Christians are called to live their lives controlled by God’s will. Being faithful to Christ means using God’s gifts to serve others, and each person is equipped with gifts to serve. Suffering as a Christian may be a painful test, but followers are exhorted to be glad that they are sharing Christ’s sufferings.
Today’s Scripture: 1 Peter 4:14 (GNT)
Happy are you if you are insulted because you are Christ’s followers; this means that the glorious Spirit, the Spirit of God, is resting on you.
Today’s Reading
1 Peter 4:1-19
Reflect
Is there a special gift you have you received from God? In what ways is your gift (or gifts) used for the good of others? Reread verses 12-16. Have you ever experienced suffering because of your faith? What words of encouragement can you find in these verses?
Pray
Lord God, teach me to share my gifts with others in order to build up the body of Christ and glorify you. In times of testing, embolden me with confidence in your care and ultimate love. Grant me wisdom and hope in times of suffering, that I may grow strong in you. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Houses of worship that have become targets of vandalism
Tomorrow’s Reading
1 Peter 5:1-14: Church leaders are to be like shepherds and serve as examples to their flocks.
