Day 3 1 Peter 4:12-19 Keep on rejoicing in suffering because then the Spirit of Glory rests upon you. Verse 14: “If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.” This means that in the hour of greatest trial there is a great consolation. In great suffering on earth there is great support from heaven. You may think now that you will not be able to bear it. But if you are Christ’s, you will be able to bear it, because He will come to you and rest upon you. As Rutherford said, the Great King keeps his finest wine in the cellar of affliction. He does not bring it out to serve with chips and on sunny afternoons. He keeps it for extremities. If you say, “What are these sufferings cause-and-effect?” The answer is simply this: you will find out when you need it. The Spirit will reveal enough of glory and enough of God to satisfy your soul and carry you through. Seek to be holy not comfortable; seek to bring truth; seek to bear witness; and do not turn aside from obedience. And sooner or later you will experience the Spirit of glory and of God resting upon you in suffering. #247daily
