Through Suffering, Day 11

God sees us. Read 1 Peter 3:10-12.

God sees us in every circumstance we’re in. As you will remember, Peter is writing to a people who are going through difficult and challenging times. They are suffering. The world is not in agreement with their following Christ and they are paying the price for that. Still, Peter reminds them that God sees them. God knows what they are going through, and God will act and move in a way that glorifies him through every situation and circumstance. Their suffering is not in vain. Their challenges are not purposeless.

There have been times in my life when I have felt alone and forgotten by God, but my feelings are not truth. The truth of this situation is that God is with me and he is right there through all of the challenges I have ever faced. God is working to bring about his glory through every situation.

Am I seeking my comfort or his glory? I would rather have God’s glory even if it means my difficulties and challenges, knowing the truth that God is with me and sees me through every challenge I face.
