As we read 1 Peter 5 today we see a tremendous list of responsibilities, God's provision that we can meet thse demands, and God's reward for those who persist in faith. Look at how we are to strive in these troubled times. We are to be humble. We hold fast to faith and obedience. We must have cares for we are to cast hem on Christ. And we suffer. What provision has our Lord given us in this evil age? He has gven us his Spirit and he works by the Spirit in the leaders he has appointed in his Church. We do not walk alone, but with a multitude of faithful undershepherds following Christ the good shepherd. Finally look at the reward God provides for the faithful. Surely this evil time of affliction is brief and light. Let us hold fast to our Lord in anticipation of our blessed rest.
