Day 3 I Peter 4:13 Look at the command found in verse 13: “To the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing.” Keep on rejoicing. When you are thrown in the cellars of suffering, keep on rejoicing. When you dive in the sea of affliction, keep on rejoicing. In fact, keep on rejoicing, not in spite of the affliction but even because of it. This is not a little piece of advice about the power of positive thinking. This is an utterly radical, abnormal, supernatural way to respond to suffering. It is not in our power. It is not for the sake of our honor. It is the way spiritual aliens and exiles live on the earth for the glory of the great King. “Count it all joy when you meet various trials,” is foolish advice, except for one thing — God. One of the marks of Christian maturity is how you can glorify God in the midst of suffering; well, you can’t! But Christ can/will in you!!! #247daily
