What a comfort.

Angst. I have a lot of it.

I was at post-camp tonight, despite the fact that I have never been involved in any way with D-camp or Impact. The speaker briefly touched on 1 Peter 4 and the suffering entailed for us.

However it was during praise singing that God absolutely knew my heart and sent this little gift:

"Resist him [your adversary the devil, who prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour -> 5:8], firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen."
-1 Peter 5:9-11

What an unbelievable amount of comfort I had upon reading that. The only response is to rejoice I guess.
