  You Already Have What Suffering Wants to Take | 1 Peter 1:10-12

  Aug 19, 20266 min

  Welcome to The Daily. Go ahead and pick up your 1 Peter Scripture Journal now. Our text today is 1 Peter 1:10-12 : Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look. — 1 Peter 1:10-12 Have you ever found yourself wanting something more? Maybe a better opportunity. A different season of life. Better circumstances. Sometimes we become so focused on what we don't have that we forget to appreciate what we already possess. Peter understood that temptation. The believers he was writing to were suffering because of their faith. They were outsiders in their culture, facing rejection and mounting pressure for following Christ. It would have been easy for them to look at their circumstances and wonder what they were missing. Instead, Peter reminds them of what they have. To make his point, he takes them back into the story of Israel. For centuries, God's people lived on promises. Abraham received promises he would never see fully fulfilled. Moses led God's people toward a future he would only glimpse from a distance. David was promised an eternal King from his line, yet he never saw the Messiah sit on that throne. Isaiah spoke of a suffering servant who would bear the sins of many, but he never witnessed the cross. Generation after generation waited for God to fulfill his promise. Peter says these prophets "searched and inquired carefully" about the salvation that was to come. They knew God was revealing something extraordinary. They could see pieces of His plan unfolding, but they longed to understand how it would all come together. What they eventually discovered was remarkable. The promises they proclaimed were not primarily for themselves. They were for a future generation. They were for people who would live after the coming of Jesus Christ. They were for believers like Peter's readers. Those who saw the resurrection and were dispersed across Asia Minor. And believers like us scattered across the world. Think about that for a moment. The prophets spent centuries looking forward to realities that you can now look back on. They anticipated the Messiah. You know His name. They predicted His suffering. You know about the cross. They foresaw His glory. You know about the resurrection. They looked ahead through shadows. You live in the light of fulfillment. Peter then takes the thought even further. He says these are things "into which angels long to look." Even the angels marvel at God's plan of redemption. They witness his wisdom, mercy, and grace displayed through the salvation of sinners. Yet they do not experience redemption themselves. Believers do. That is Peter's point. Your salvation is greater than you think. You possess the fulfillment of promises that prophets longed to understand, and angels still marvel to observe. This is why Peter reminds suffering believers of these truths. When you understand what you have in Christ, you stop measuring your life by what you lack. The world may withhold acceptance. Culture may reject your convictions. Life may not unfold the way you planned. But if you belong to Jesus, you already possess the greatest gift God has ever given. You have been redeemed. You have been welcomed into God's family. You are living in the fulfillment of His promises. That is not something to take for granted. It is something to remember. A truth that will help you stand firm in a hostile world. DO THIS: Spend five minutes thanking God for specific aspects of your salvation. Thank Him not only for what He has given you, but for what Christ endured to make it possible. ASK THIS: What blessings of salvation have become so familiar that I rarely stop to appreciate them? How does knowing that prophets longed to see Christ increase my gratitude today? What am I tempted to focus on that is causing me to overlook what I already have in Christ? PRAY THIS: Father, thank You for the gift of salvation. Forgive me for taking for granted what generations longed to see and understand. Help me treasure Christ more deeply, rejoice in Your promises, and remember how rich I am because of what You have done for me. Amen. PLAY THIS: "His Mercy Is More"

  Your Suffering Has a Reason | 1 Peter 1:6-9

  Aug 18, 20267 min

  Welcome to The Daily. Go ahead and pick up your 1 Peter Scripture Journal now. Our text today is 1 Peter 1:6-9 : In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. — 1 Peter 1:6-9 Why is this happening to me? We have all asked that very question when trials stack on trials. You pray, but the struggle continues. You trust God, yet the trial remains. No matter how faithfully you follow Him, suffering still finds its way into your life. And Peter understood that struggle. The believers he was writing to were facing increasing pressure because of their faith. They were rejected by their culture, misunderstood by their neighbors, and treated as outsiders because they followed Jesus. Rather than avoiding the subject, Peter addresses their suffering directly. He acknowledges that they have been grieved by various trials. He does not pretend that suffering is easy, nor does he encourage believers to ignore their pain. Grief is real. Loss is real. Rejection is real. Trials hurt. Yet Peter also emphasizes something surprising. He writes that these trials come "if necessary." Those two words remind us that suffering is not random. God has a purpose even in the hardships we would never choose for ourselves. Peter uses a metaphor comparing faith to gold refined by fire. In the ancient world, gold was heated until its impurities rose to the surface, where they could be removed. The fire did not destroy the gold. It revealed what was genuine and purified what remained. God often works in much of the same way through our trials. Difficult seasons expose what we truly trust. They reveal where our confidence rests and uncover weaknesses we may not have recognized before. At the same time, they strengthen and deepen a faith that might otherwise remain untested. Peter knew this from personal experience. There was a time when he believed he was stronger than he really was. He boldly declared that he would never abandon Jesus, even if everyone else did. Yet when pressure came, Peter denied even knowing Him. That trial revealed something Peter could not see on his own. His confidence was rooted more in himself than in Christ. But Jesus did not abandon Peter. He restored him. Through that painful failure, Peter became a humbler, stronger, and more faithful disciple. What felt like defeat became part of God's refining work in his life. Now Peter writes to believers walking through their own fires, reminding them that God is still at work amid their struggles. Not every trial is the result of sin. Not every hardship is punishment. Sometimes God allows difficulty because He intends to refine your faith. What feels like destruction may actually be transformation. What feels like loss may actually be preparation for something God is doing in you. And it is temporary. Underline these five words today: "Now for a little while." Your trial may feel overwhelming today, but it will not last forever. One day, every trial will end. Every tear will be wiped away. And the faith God has refined through suffering will result in praise, glory, and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Do not measure God's love by the intensity of your trial. Measure it by the work of the Cross. Never assume that the fire means God has rejected you. Sometimes the fire is evidence that God is still shaping you, strengthening you, and drawing you closer to Himself. A faith that has never been tested is a faith that has never been strengthened. DO THIS: Think about the trial you are facing right now. Write down one way God may be using it to expose, strengthen, or refine your faith. ASK THIS: What trial am I most tempted to resent right now? What might God be teaching me through this difficulty? How would my perspective change if I believed this trial was not random but purposeful? PRAY THIS: Father, when trials come, help me trust that You are doing more than I can see. Refine my faith, expose what does not belong, and teach me to depend on You more deeply. Give me the endurance to stand firm, knowing that You never waste my suffering. Amen.

  Your Hope is Alive Because Jesus is Alive — 1 Peter 1:3-5

  Aug 17, 20267 min

  Welcome to The Daily. Go ahead and pick up your 1 Peter Scripture Journal now. Our text today is 1 Peter 1:3-5 : Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. — 1 Peter 1:3-5 What do you do when the things you depend on start slipping away? A job disappears. A relationship changes. Your health declines. The plans you have fall apart. Many of the believers Peter was writing to understood that feeling. Because of their faith in Christ, they were increasingly becoming outsiders in their communities. Following Jesus was costing them something. So Peter reminds them of something that cannot be lost. A living hope. Notice that Peter does not say we have hope because life will get easier. He says we have hope because Jesus is alive. The resurrection changed everything. Peter knew this better than anyone. For years, Peter followed Jesus, believing He was the promised Messiah. But like many Jews in his day, Peter expected a conquering king who would establish an earthly kingdom. He anticipated victory, power, and restoration for Israel. Then Jesus was arrested. Crucified. Buried. In a matter of hours, Peter's expectations collapsed. The future he imagined seemed gone forever. But three days later, everything changed. Jesus walked out of the tomb alive. The resurrection transformed Peter's despair into confidence and his fear into courage, and he ran to him on the beach of Galilee. The hope Peter writes about here is not optimism or positive thinking. It is confidence rooted in a living Savior . That is why Peter calls it a living hope . Because Christ is alive, our hope is alive. He also says believers have an inheritance . That language would have reminded Jewish readers of the Promised Land—an inheritance God gave His people. Yet every earthly inheritance could be lost. Israel lost land. Kingdoms rose and fell. Possessions deteriorated. Not this inheritance. Peter describes it using three powerful words. It is imperishable —it cannot be destroyed. It is undefiled —it cannot be corrupted by sin. It is unfading —it will never diminish or lose its glory. Everything in this world eventually wears out. But your inheritance in Christ never will. And as if that were not enough, Peter says it is being kept in heaven for you. You are being guarded for it. God is not only protecting your inheritance. He is protecting you until the day you receive it. Imagine how encouraging that would have been for believers who felt vulnerable, rejected, and uncertain about the future. You may lose opportunities, comfort, and others' approval. But if you belong to Christ, you cannot lose what matters most. Your hope is alive. Your inheritance is secure. That is the kind of truth that helps believers stand firm in a hostile world. DO THIS: Make a list of three things in your life that could be lost tomorrow. Then write beside them: "My hope is not here." ASK THIS: What earthly thing am I most tempted to place my hope in? How does Christ's resurrection change the way I view my future? What would it look like to live today as though my inheritance is already secure? PRAY THIS: Father, thank You for giving me a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. When I am tempted to place my confidence in temporary things, remind me of the inheritance You have secured for me. Help me trust that You are guarding both my future and my faith. Amen.

  Remember Who You Are — 1 Peter 1:1-2

  Aug 16, 20269 min

  Welcome to The Daily. Go ahead and pick up your 1 Peter Scripture Journal now. Our text today is 1 Peter 1:1-2 : Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you. — 1 Peter 1:1-2 Who are you? That's one of the most important questions you'll ever answer. The world tells you to build your identity around your accomplishments, relationships, possessions, preferences, politics, or feelings. But every one of those things can change. When they do, your identity becomes unstable. Peter starts somewhere better. He calls these believers elect exiles. They are exiles because they do not fully belong to this world anymore. Their citizenship is in heaven. Their values, priorities, and hopes are different because they belong to Christ. Peter's choice of words would have reminded his readers of Israel's history. For generations, God's people lived as exiles, scattered from their homeland and longing for the fulfillment of God's promises. By calling Christians "elect exiles of the Dispersion," Peter connects believers to that story. But there is something remarkable about that connection. Most of Peter's readers were likely Gentiles, not Jews. For much of history, Gentiles were considered outsiders to God's covenant people. They were the nations far off from God's promises, looking in from the outside. Many of them had spent their lives believing they did not truly belong. Now, because of Jesus, everything has changed. Peter takes language that once described God's covenant people and applies it to these believers. He tells them that they are no longer outsiders. They are no longer far away. Through Christ, they have been brought near, welcomed into God's family, and included in God's redemptive story. In other words, Peter is correcting their understanding of themselves. Their suffering may have made them feel abandoned. Their rejection by society may have made them feel unwanted. Their status as minorities in a hostile culture may have made them feel as though they did not belong anywhere. But Peter says they do belong. They belong to God. They are exiles, not because they are excluded from God's people, but because they have been included among God's people. They are strangers in the world because they are now citizens of a greater kingdom. And they are also elect. Chosen. Before they chose Christ, God chose them. Peter says this happened according to the foreknowledge of the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, and for obedience to Jesus Christ and the sprinkling of His blood. In just a few words, Peter reminds believers that their salvation is the work of the entire Trinity. The Father planned it. The Spirit applied it. The Son accomplished it through His sacrificial death. Why does Peter begin here? Perhaps because Peter knew what happened when your identity was built on the wrong thing. Earlier in his life, Peter often defined himself by his own strength and loyalty. He was the disciple who spoke first, acted boldly, and confidently declared that even if everyone else abandoned Jesus, he never would. Peter's identity was tied to what he believed he could do for Christ. Then came the night of Jesus' arrest. Three times Peter denied even knowing Him. In a matter of hours, the identity Peter had built around his own faithfulness shattered. The man who thought he would stand firm discovered how weak he really was. But that was not the end of Peter's story. After His resurrection, Jesus lovingly restored Peter and recommissioned him to ministry. Peter learned that his standing with God was not based on his performance but on God's grace. His confidence was no longer rooted in his own devotion to Christ but in Christ's unwavering devotion to him. Even the way Peter introduces himself in this letter reflects that growth. He simply writes, "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ." He does not boast about his experiences, his leadership, or his accomplishments. His identity is found in who Jesus says he is and in the calling Jesus has given him. That is why Peter begins this letter by reminding believers who they are. Before he tells them how to live, he reminds them whose they are. Before he calls them to stand firm, he reminds them that God has already claimed them as His own. Peter writes as a man who learned this lesson through failure, restoration, and grace. The same is true for you. Perhaps your circumstances have led you to believe you are forgotten, that you are disqualified, that God is distant. Or perhaps, like Peter's first readers, you sometimes feel like an outsider looking in. Remember who you are. You are not far from God. You are not an accident. You are not forgotten. You are not abandoned. You belong to God. And if God has claimed you as His own, no hostile world can take that away. DO THIS: Write down three identities you often lean on—your work, accomplishments, reputation, or relationships. Then write this above them all: "I belong to God." ASK THIS: What identity do I most often rely on besides Christ? How does being an "elect exile" change the way I view this world? What would change if I truly believed I belong to God? PRAY THIS: Father, thank You for choosing me, loving me, and making me Your own. Help me remember who I am when the world pressures me to find my identity somewhere else. Teach me to live as Your child in a world that is not my home. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me"

  The Choice That Determines Everything | Hosea 14:9

  Aug 15, 20265 min

  Welcome to The Daily. Tomorrow we start our next book of the Bible. We are moving to the New Testament, 1 Peter. We are going to discover how to live holy in a hostile world. Go ahead and pick up your 1 Peter Scripture Journal now. Also, if you have followed with me all the way through this book, do me a favor. Put your first name, last name, city, and state in the comments below. Let's celebrate a discipleship journey through this entire book together. Our text today is Hosea 14:9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the Lord are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them. — Hosea 14:9 After fourteen chapters of Hosea, we finally arrive at a choice. Not a feeling. Not an opinion. A choice. Hosea ends by asking a question hidden inside a statement: Who is wise? Because wisdom is not knowing the truth. Wisdom is doing something with it. Over the last fourteen chapters, we've watched an entire nation collapse. Not because they lacked information. They had prophets. They had warnings. They had God's Word. They had opportunities to repent. Their problem was never ignorance. Their problem was refusal. That is often our problem too. In our nation, churches, and homes. Most of us already know more truth than we obey. We know we should forgive, pray, surrender, and trust God. We also know we should stop compromising. The issue is usually not whether we know. The issue is whether we will walk in it. Hosea declares, "The ways of the LORD are right." They are not always popular or easy. But then comes the dividing line of wisdom, "The upright walk in them." The operative word is walk. Not admire them. Not debate them. Not post about them. Walk in them . Because eventually every person chooses a path. One hears God and responds. Another hears God and resists. One softens. Another hardens. One surrenders. Another keeps control. And over time, those paths lead to very different destinations. As I think about this entire book, I keep coming back to one simple truth: God never stopped pursuing His people. Not once. They wandered. He pursued. They compromised. He pursued. They rebelled. He pursued. They ran. He pursued. That is the story of Hosea. And honestly, it may be the story of your life, too. Maybe you found yourself somewhere in this book. A wanderer. A compromiser. A self-reliant person. The idol-chaser. The exhausted believer. The prodigal. The religious pretender. The person who almost gave up. If that's you, then hear the final message of Hosea: Return. Come home. God is still pursuing you. But now a new challenge begins. Which is why tomorrow we launch into 1 Peter. Hosea has shown us what happens when God's people become like the world. Peter will teach us how to live faithfully in the world without becoming like it. To stand firm and remain holy. Live all in for him who lived all in for you. And I will see you back here tomorrow. DO THIS: Identify one truth God has repeatedly shown you through Hosea and take one concrete step to obey it this week. ASK THIS: What truth do I know but have not yet obeyed? Where have I been resisting God's way? What would it look like for me to stand firm in my faith today? PRAY THIS: Father, thank you for pursuing me even when I wandered. Give me the courage to obey what I know, the humility to keep returning to you, and the strength to stand firm as I follow Christ in a world that often pulls the other way. Amen.
