How do we push through our pain today from Chuck Swindall?

Just trust in your Lord to take you through.

No one can tell you all the reasons why you have to go through such hard times, except

the mystery of hardship and suffering and misfortune and know for sure that God will protect

you by His power from now through eternity.

So what's occupying your thoughts these days?

Do you find yourself mulling over the damage caused by a broken relationship?

Or maybe you're troubled by an accusation level against you?

That's not true.

Today on Insight for Living, Chuck Swindall continues a message he introduced yesterday.

He's teaching from 1 Peter 1 where the former fisherman shows us how to cope with suffering.

In fact, Peter offers timeless wisdom on how to overcome inevitable moments of pain,

disappointment and grief.

Chuck titled today's message, Hope Beyond Suffering, How we Can Smile Through Suffering.

If you have your Bible or New Testament open to 1 Peter, allow me to read the first two

verses and you follow along as we observe just by way of review the one who wrote the letter

and those who received the letter and some things about both.

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ to those who reside as aliens, scattered throughout Pontius,

Galatia, Capadocia, Asia and Bethinia, who were chosen according to the foreknowledge of

God the Father by the sanctifying work of the Spirit that you may obey Jesus Christ

and be sprinkled with His blood.

May grace and peace be yours in fullest measure.
