Monday 1 Peter 2:18 I who am a slave must accept the authority of my masters. I do whatever they tell me–not only if they are kind and reasonable, but even if they are harsh. Tuesday 1 Peter 2:19 For You, God are pleased with me when, for the sake of my conscience, I patiently endure unfair treatment. Wednesday 1 Peter 2:20 Of course, I get no credit for being patient if I am beaten for doing wrong. But if I suffer for doing right and am patient beneath the blows, You, God, are pleased with me. Thursday 1 Peter: 2:21 This suffering is all part of what You, God, have called me to. You, Christ, Who suffered for me, are my example. I follow in Your steps. Friday 1 Peter 2:22 You never sinned, and You never deceived anyone. Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers 4531.
