Partakers of His Suffering

…but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings… —1 Peter 4:13

If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others. Because of this process, you will never be surprised by what comes your way. You say, “Oh, I can’t deal with that person.” Why can’t you? God gave you sufficient opportunities to learn from Him about that problem; but you turned away, not heeding the lesson, because it seemed foolish to spend your time that way.

The sufferings of Christ were not those of ordinary people. He suffered “according to the will of God” (1 Peter 4:19), having a different point of view of suffering from ours. It is only through our relationship with Jesus Christ that we can understand what God is after in His dealings with us. When it comes to suffering, it is part of our Christian culture to want to know God’s purpose beforehand. In the history of the Christian church, the tendency has been to avoid being identified with the sufferings of Jesus Christ. People have sought to carry out God’s orders through a shortcut of their own. God’s way is always the way of suffering— the way of the “long road home.”

Are we partakers of Christ’s sufferings? Are we prepared for God to stamp out our personal ambitions? Are we prepared for God to destroy our individual decisions by supernaturally transforming them? It will mean not knowing why God is taking us that way, because knowing would make us spiritually proud. We never realize at the time what God is putting us through— we go through it more or less without understanding. Then suddenly we come to a place of enlightenment, and realize— “God has strengthened me and I didn’t even know it!”

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Of all the holidays of the year, the most overcommercialized/ignored true meaning (by percentage anyway) has to be All Saints Day. Halloween (All Hallows Eve) has completely taken over to the point that many don’t even know about All Saints Day, which was created to celebrate and honor all those saints who didn’t have their own feast days. Take some time tomorrow personally or with your family to read up on a saint (not necessarily just those recognized by the Catholic Church), either ancient or modern-day, thank God for their example, and be inspired.
Hebrews 12:1-2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
MOLESKIN:
I was amazed by the luck of this group, only pulling three out of ten “Trick” cards…

My family and I have been in a state of transition over the last two months. Both my wife and I are changing jobs and we just moved into a new neighborhood. We felt like we have been making these decisions through walking in Faith. Through trusting that God has a plan and we are following it. I’m going to need your encouragement along the way and if you feel that God is pulling you in any direction, take a step into that faith walk with HIM.

Lyrics from Faithful Now:
I am holding on to faith
‘Cause I know You’ll make a way
And I don’t always understand,
And I don’t always get to see.
But I will believe it, yes I will believe it.

You make mountains move, You make giants fall
You use songs of praise to shake prison walls
So I will speak to my fear,
I will preach to my doubt
That You were faithful then, You’ll be faithful now

MOLESKIN:
I think the rep counts were a little low on this one. Should have started out doubled!
