Righteous Suffering

“For it is better, if it the will of God,
to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.”

1 Peter 3:17
 

Yes, the will of god for your life includes righteous suffering. By the way, that doesn’t mean suffering because of sins or evil behavior. We reap what we sow when we sin – God does not will for us to do evil.

When we suffer because of our sins, it’s not God’s will, but the natural process of reaping what we have sown. However, when we suffer justly, for doing what is right, that is God’s will. Don’t be afraid of God’s will because it includes suffering. God works all things out for our good. His will is perfect, and He wants only what is best for His children.

Thought for the Day:
Yes, even in suffering, God answers your prayers!
