Some days are just flat out difficult and maybe you're in one of those tough spots right

now where hard days are repeated by more hard days and you wonder when the harsh weather

is going to let up.

It's in these painful places we'd prefer to duck into a secret shelter to ride out

the storm.

Today, on Insight for Living, we're picking up right where we left off on our last program.

Chuck Swindall is teaching from 1 Peter 4, with a strong word of encouragement for anyone

who desperately needs a hiding place.

Some of you are going through things right now that are pulling you closer to the Lord

than you've ever been in your life.

That ought to bring rejoicing.

You'll be more closely linked to Him.

You will understand His thoughts.

Some of the mysterious themes that are threaded through His Word will come alive because you

are on the bed of affliction or persecution or misunderstanding, the fellowship of His

suffering.

Furthermore, you can rejoice because you will receive a future reward so that also at

the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exaltation.

While I preach these words, it happens to be graduation time around here.

These are the days when honors are given out.

Special awards and special ribbons and special hoods are granted to people that have won

awards.
