Forgot to post yesterday. It's so easy to get caught up in your day & the busy schedule ahead . . Let's get caught up on our reading.
Sunday: 1 Peter 3:8-22
Two things stick out to me: 1. You will always face "bad press." Someone won't like you, someone will spread rumors, someone will be plain nasty to you. Don't worry about it. Realize that people are people & not all of them are nice. Your self-worth isn't wrapped up in what people say, it's about what God says - & He says you're fabulous. So, go about doing good. Then, when people talk about you, you can just chalk it up to their own insecurities. 2. Baptism is a symbolic act. It says, "I am pledging to live my life according to God's will." Salvation only comes through Jesus Christ.
Monday: 1 Peter 4:1-11
Live as Christ lived - with compassion and self-control. When you change your life around, you become a light to others. Unfortunately, that light reveals the darkness in other's hearts, causing them to act out against you. Remember, it's not you, it's them. They are pushing against their own guilt. Continue to do good & live a life that pleases God. For in the End (which is fast approaching) He is the only One who matters. No one's opinion will determine your eternal life other than His.
