Whether things are going well or not in our personal lives, chances are pretty good we don't like some of the things going on in our country and in the world. Somethings happen which grab our attention and cause us to pause. Or fear!

Here is what Peter wrote:

"All honor to God, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; for it is his boundless mercy that has given us the privilege of being born again, so that we are now members of God's own family. Now we live in the hope of eternal life because Christ rose again from the dead. And God has reserved for his children the priceless gift of eternal life; it is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. And God, in his mighty power, will make sure that you get there safely to receive it, because you are trusting him. It will be yours in that coming last day for all to see. So be truly glad! There is wonderful joy ahead, even though the going is rough for a while down here."

~ I Peter 1:3 - 6 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Do we need encouragement? Peter's words offer joy and hope in times of trouble., and he bases his confidence on what God has done for us in Christ Jesus. We're called to live in the hope of eternal life. Our hope is not only for the future; eternal life begins when we believe in God and join his family. The eternal life we now have gives us hope and enables us to live with confidence in God."
