I Peter 4:19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well-doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
Knowing the signs of the times our attitude should be one of Commitment. Taking up your cross means commitment, not looking back.
An attitude of Commitment and an attitude of Love can make us sour to the Divine. Committing your soul to God while in the midst of suffering, because you know that the fiery trial you face now is meant for your purification, while the fire the ungodly will face one day is meant for their punishment.
Those who reject Jesus Christ have seen the best of life that their eternal existence will ever see.
This is why we must count it all joy when we endure the fiery trial(s) that come upon us here. God allows it because He means it for our good. In our humanity we sometimes do not understand this concept. In those times we must keep in remembrance that His ways are past finding out and He wants what is best for us. He knows best. Always. His job is to make us BETTER.
The Saints of God can rejoice, knowing that the test and sufferings they face here on earth are temporal.
Not all suffering is the will of God, but yet while we suffer in even what we do not understand, we can TRUST in the Friend of all friends which is also our Creator. God is our faithful Creator and He knows how to take good care of the pliable clay that we are.
So much of the agony we put ourselves through while in trial is the result of not fully regarding the faithful, divine love of our God. He is sovereign, yet while so, He is faithful.
When we commit our souls to Him we leave our souls in a safe place. So Let's live in an attitude of Gratitude: Commitment, Love, Trust, and see what God has in store!! :)
Blessings on this Wednesday!
