Jan 15th Sunday -- Good Grief Charlie Brown 1 Peter 1:6-7

Most of us know that great cartoon character developed by Charles Shultz, the loveable Charlie Brown. Whenever Snoopy got Charlie into trouble (or when Charlie got himself into trouble) he would sigh the words, "Good Grief!"

Did you know this is scriptural?

1Peter 1:6-7 ...for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith -- of greater worth than gold...may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

The grief we suffer in trial come (for a purpose)!
The trials come (in all kinds) to:

(1) Prove genuine faith
(2) So that your faith may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Prove to me that you have faith...(how?); by your victory over trials of many kinds.

Have you ever thought that our trials,(and the way we handle them), may result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed? I believe that our trials may be used by God to bring "others" to Him. Wow!

If we are to WAJD then we should expect trials of many kinds. Were not Jesus' trials (in the desert) comfort to us, that Jesus can relate with our temptations and trials and accurately intercede (pray) at the right hand of the Father on our behalf?

Rejoice! Rejoice! We are witnesses when we Walk As Jesus Did!

Walk through that trial, we can trust Him.
