Virtues: 1 Peter: Prayers and Poetry

Reading: 1 Peter 4:17-19: "For the time is right for judgment to begin in God's own household. And if it starts with us, what will be the fate of those who refuse to obey the gospel of God? And: If the righteous are barely saved, what will become of the wicked and godless? So then, those who suffer for following God's will should enfold their lives into the Creator, who will never fail them, and continue to always do what is right."

Virtues

Ongoing mercy--His gift of never-ending love and forgiveness.

He holds us up even when we continue to fail so much on so many levels. Yet keeps us in His life to follow Him. Showing us the way back no matter the circumstances.

He will enfold--He will keep us in His will and guide us especially when we don't see.

Ongoing mercy--when we listen to His truth He will show us how to clean out our thoughts and hearts from false attitudes and anger.

Lord, please show us how to follow only You as Your Spirit leads us--in faith and in trust each day. May Your truth so fill us up that we only hear and speak Your thoughts and words.
