1 Peter 5:10

10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

What does this 1 Peter 5:10 mean? Peter tells us that suffering is inevitable in life but it will end if we’re faithful to Christ.

God promised his followers an eternity free of suffering, especially those who are persecuted for their faith, which is outlined in the chapter of 1 Peter.

Peter explains we cannot expect our salvation (faith to Christ) to eliminate earthly pain. Instead, God will end our suffering forever when we ascend to heaven, making us strong again.

Everything we’ve lost will be restored once we’ve returned home to heaven, and then some.

Those who believe in God will be greatly rewarded.

Psalms 107:19-21

Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
He sent His word and healed them,
And delivered them from their destructions.
Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

When we are hurt physically, emotionally, or spiritually/mentally, it’s tempting to give in to the bottomless pit of despair.

Isaiah 41:10

¹⁰ Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

It’s Scripture Sunday and that means another bible verse. Today, I decided on “strength” as the theme for this week.

In times of hopelessness, Isaiah 41:10 reminds us to have faith in the Lord and that He will give us strength. Whether you’ve lost someone dear to you or are fighting depression, remember that you’re not alone.

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Every week I’ll be posting a passage from the Bible. This is a new series called Scripture Sunday and I created it to strengthen my bond with Christ. I hope you’ll also be inspired.

John 3:16 is about God’s love for every individual. He loved us so much that He sent His only Son to be sacrificed. But why? Jesus was sinless, therefore the only one capable of taking on all the sins of humanity. He was the sacrifice of all sacrifices, meaning animal sacrifices were no longer needed.

Psalm 23:1-6

A Psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Psalm 23 is one of the most famous verses from the Bible and has brought much comfort to those who are dying or lost a loved one. Usually, it’s read during a funeral.

I’m creating a new series of posts starting today. Every Sunday I’ll share a psalm or a Bible passage. I’m doing this to remind myself to be faithful to the Lord and to inspire fellow Christians to do the same.
