Submit to Suffering

1 Peter 4:1

          It is important to understand the difference between suffering in the flesh and suffering demonic affliction. Giving up the selfish appetites of our flesh does not mean we are to suffer from sickness, disease, and poverty. Jesus died to deliver you from the curse of sin. But unless you are willing to suffer in the flesh you will never walk in the will of God.

          When you get up in the morning, set your thoughts on walking in God's will all day long. You might even say to yourself, "Even if I need to suffer in order to do God's will today, I am setting my mind for obedience." Face tomorrow with determination to please God no matter the cost.
