All Over the World!

Listen to this blog.

God cares for you, so turn all your worries over to him. Be on your guard and stay awake. Your enemy, the devil, is like a roaring lion, sneaking around to find someone to attack. But you must resist the devil and stay strong in your faith.

You know that all over the world the Lord's followers are suffering just as you are.  But God shows undeserved kindness to everyone. That's why he appointed Christ Jesus to choose you to share in his eternal glory. You will suffer for a while, but God will make you complete, steady, strong, and firm.

God will be in control forever! Amen.

1 Peter 5:7-11

I heard it again last night. A follower of Jesus was telling how the attacks of the devil have been increasing in his life just in the past few months. It seems you hear those claims everywhere. In fact, if you are a believer it is likely that you too can tell of how rough things are getting in your life.

These verses clearly tell us that we must resist the devil and stay strong in our faith. And we can be certain that we are not alone. These sufferings are going on all over the world.

But suffering for Jesus will only last on this earth for a while and God will make us complete, steady, strong, and firm!

If you know someone else who is suffering from the attacks of the devil, you can encourage them with these words and let them know that God is in control forever!
