In the midst of suffering and struggle, life gets very difficult. For some, it seems like the struggle is unbearable. The days are constantly dark. The nights are sometimes long and sleepless. Hopelessness sets in and it seems like nothing will ever change. In these times of suffering, God comes alongside us to remind us that he has not forgotten. He is still in control and still at work. Throughout the first letter of Peter, called 1 Peter, we have seen the various areas of struggle that take place in the life of followers of Christ. We have seen the cost of it, and difficulty that is brings into our lives. But we have been reminded of the great hope that lies ahead for us at the return of Jesus Christ for our final salvation. The promise of God is that he has not forgotten. Though these days of suffering may seem long and at times unbearable, we must fix our eyes on the Savior who gave his life for us to redeem us and give us hope. He will ultimately take care of us. We simply must trust him enough to live life his way.
