Thank God for Living Hope
Peter writes to scattered Jewish
Christians who are undergoing
intense persecution for their faith.
God has begotten us again unto a
Living Hope. So don’t be surprised
when suffering comes your way;
prepare & respond to it correctly.
Purpose to do what is right; by
Imitating Christ in your submissive
spirit. And God will richly reward
you when the trials of life are over.
Lord, we Claim Our Inheritance:
Praise be to the God…In His Great
Mercy He has given us new birth
into a Living Hope through the
resurrection of Christ fr the dead
into an inheritance that can never
perish… This inheritance is kept
in heaven for you (1Pet 1:3-4).
Now for a little while you may
have had to suffer grief in all
kinds of trials. These have come
so that the proven genuineness
of your faith – of Greater Worth
than gold…may result in praise,
glory and honour when Jesus
Christ is revealed (v6-7) Amen.
Father, Thank You that it’s because
of Your Boundless Mercy that
I have the privilege of being born
again in Christ. Thank You for
giving Your Son to die for me
so that I could become your child.
Thank You that I can look forward
to a Priceless Inheritance with You,
an inheritance that can never
perish, spoil or fade. Amen.
Father, I thank you for the hope
and inheritance that you have
provided by the resurrection of
Your Son and our Saviour Jesus.
I praise You for the boundless
mercy that gave me the privilege of
being born again to a Living Hope.
Thank you for not only giving me
life but also a priceless inheritance
for all Your dear children. Amen.
Lord, help me realise that trials
are meant for my Ultimate Good;
so help me learn to rejoice in You.
Help me to hold on to what You
have promised for the future.
And as I face trials, pray that I will
continually seek Your guidance;
that my character be refined by U
and that U will strengthen my faith.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
