Now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials. Father, Your Word encourages me to not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try me, as though some strange thing happened to me; but I rejoice to the extent that I partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, I may also be glad with exceeding joy. The exhortation speaks to me as to a son: “My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him.” Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those of us who have been trained by it. Thank You, Lord, that when trials and temptations come, You are with me to strengthen me, comfort me, and guide me. 1 Peter 1:6; 1 Peter 4:12–13; Hebrews 12:5; Hebrews 12:11; Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 2:18; 1 Corinthians 10:13
