Fire on the Altar

Five truths to help every believer find freedom in the suffering we face in our daily lives. 1. Don't be caught off guard with suffering. Don't be surprised with suffering. As long as we live in this mortal body we will experience suffering. We Christians we should Know that it is coming, but also be assured that Jesus has overcome this world. 1Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial (suffering) which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.

Isaiah 26:3 NLT You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! I encourage you today to fill your heart, mind, soul and spirit with the Word of God. Read the Word, pray the Word, sing (for some of us that means quietly lol ) the Word, speak (over yourself, family, and those around you) the Word, and write (journal, put sticky notes in your car, home) the Word. Maybe you are reading this and do not know where to start reading in the Bible, check out Phillipians 4:4-9. God bless!
