1 PETER 5:2 BE SHEPHERDS OF GOD’S FLOCK THAT IS UNDER YOUR CARE, WATCHING OVER THEM—NOT BECAUSE YOU MUST, BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE WILLING, AS GOD WANTS YOU TO BE; NOT PURSUING DISHONEST GAIN, BUT EAGER TO SERVE; Priceless pearls of Lord Jesus Christ; Sufferings worst fear is that everything will be lost at death, and its worst delusion is that nothing in life is worthwhile any more. But for the follower of Lord Jesus Christ, it is a win-win situation: until death we have the constant presence, provision and protection of Lord Jesus Christ; and after death there is so much more of Him, and all the glory to come. Both this life and the afterlife are wonderful privileges for those who follow Lord Jesus Christ. Before our life is taken, we are here to work for the Sovereign Lord, and even when death ends that period of ministry, our life with Lord Jesus Christ can never be taken away. Hard times often encourage us to hope for a way out of the uncertainty for our own sakes. Although it is not wrong to seek Lord God Almightys blessings for ourselves, we are not just here for ourselves. Service for Lord Jesus Christ will bring suffering in some way or another, but that is no reason to shrink back: Lord Jesus Christ didnt. As Lord Jesus Christ followers we don’t have right to decide our own future; that secret is safest in His hands. We have to realize that He has placed us in this world to serve others for His sake, and that He is merciful and will continue to strengthen us to do that each day. So we may well need to strengthen our resolve; or to help others who need the steadying effect of Lord God Almightys Word, when they feel tossed about by their circumstances. Let’s ask the Sovereign Lord to give us wisdom to know how to help friends and colleagues at work as they go through hard times. Point them to the Lord Jesus Christ and seek their blessing. Have a pleasant day in Lord Jesus Christ. Lord Almighty blesses you all. Stay blessed.
