“But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;”
1 Peter 3:14 KJV
Peter explains the response to persecution, “But even if you happen to suffer for doing what is right, you will have the joyful experience of the blessing of God. And don’t be intimidated or terrified by those who would terrify you.” When we suffer mistreatment or persecution for the cause of Christ, the eyes of God rest upon us. We are confident that God’s heart responds to our prayers and we will experience the blessings of God in spite of our enemies, with nothing to fear. The Lord tells us not to think like our enemies or retaliate, neither call everything a conspiracy, like they do, and let’s not live in dread of what frightens them. Let’s make the Lord of Hosts holy in our life. He is the One we should fear. He is the One Who makes us tremble. Let’s worship Him and wait on Him. Amen!
