And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.

As we travel a little further in the text the Peter states that after you have suffered a little while, the question that you and I want to know is how long is a little while? Well, my friend the good news is that a little while is shorter than a long while lol.  But make no mistake about it when you say the word suffering we want to immediate turn the channel, hang up the call or let it go to voicemail. I will put suffering on the do not call list with an automatic renew. But let’s face it for what it is and the Bible states that when we live Godly lives we will suffer. While none of us jump to the head the line to sign up for suffering we know that when we suffer for righteousness’s sake we grow in Christ.
