The Laws of the Christian Life - 1 Peter 5: 6-11

Make every effort to be truly humble allowing yourself being under God's mighty hand for you can be confident of this very thing that God will exalt you being able to stand We are all filled with many anxieties but God says give them unto me for the Lord truly cares for His own so we should always on our knee Beware of our arch-enemy Satan for he prowls around to catch us out keep your mind sober and watching on the lookout to hear the lions shout Call your faith into full action stand tall, keep firm, always resisting knowing our fellow believers all over suffer like us believing persisting The time will come when suffering ends God's grace in Christ will then appear restoring you with strength to conquer establishing in your faith without fear Give glory to our great God for His is the dominion forever this is Peter the apostle's exhortation given for us yes Jesus will deliver ('Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.') 1 Peter 5: 6-11 (ESV)

Your poetic setting of this treasured passage of Scripture is soothing and encouraging. Knowing this will all end eventually, as God strengthens us for the battle, hears our prayers, calms our anxieties, and protects us from despair. Thank you, Gordon, for these very uplifting words. God bless you, my brother ~ John
