Shielded in Suffering

1 Peter 1:6-7; Romans 5:3-4; 1 Peter 4:19

Faith in Christ does not ensure a pain-free life. Followers of Christ will still experience hardship and suffering, yet we can trust that God is faithful through all things. As we persevere in faith through the midst of our trials, we see God’s faithfulness to work together all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). 

1. What trials do you struggle to see God working in?

2. How have you seen God’s faithfulness in past trials?  

Challenge: As you remember God’s faithfulness in previous circumstances, let this encourage you to trust God’s faithfulness in current and future times of trial.
