I Peter 2:21-22
“This is the kind of life you’ve been invited into, the kind of life Christ lived. He suffered everything that came his way so you would know that it could be done, and also know how to do it, step-by-step. He never did one thing wrong, Not once said anything amiss.”
“For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps. He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone.”
Regardless the state of my life, I can trust my Lord experienced it. And he did it perfectly. Therefore, he can show me how to live through anything. He breaks his lessons down to bits I can absorb. He is an exacting but gentle teacher. How can it be that he gives attention to such as I?
Lord, I am amazed that you know me out of all earth’s peoples, past and present. I thank and praise you for it. Continue to show me how to live the life you have given me. Strengthen me to meet its challenges. May all I do honor you and glorify your name.
