In America we enjoy some wonderful comforts and conveniences. As believers in the Lord Jesus, we experience very little of the trials and troubles of our brothers and sisters across the globe. Let us lift them up to the Lord in prayer that he would give them great boldness in the gospel and witness of His grace through persecution!
1 Peter 4:12 – 16 Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ’s sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. But let none of you suffer as a murderer or a thief or an evildoer or as a meddler. Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in that name.
