It is Grace

Passage – “For it is a grace when someone, because he is mindful of God, bears up under the pain of undeserved punishment.” ‭‭1 Peter ‭2‬:‭19‬ ‭‬‬

Restated scripture in my words – When you are punished unjustly but stand in peace, quietly enduring, that is because of God’s grace.

Application to life – Being mindful of God, when facing undo punishment is not easy to do. It is a result of His grace. I immediately think of how God helped me handle walking through being fired and the things that were said. It wasn’t that I was not deeply hurt, but rather I was mindful that He was my defender.

Response back to God – Lord, I thank You for Your grace to walk through difficult times. I pray that even when I am not being punished unjustly, but I will always be mindful of You. Lord, I ask You to be with my friend today give her safe travels. Give her wisdom and focus as she passes her exam today in Jesus name amen.
