Commit the Keeping of your Soul
-
1 Peter 4:19 says, "Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator."
We never want to endure suffering, but due to the sin and evil in this world it will likely happen at some point or another. Sometimes our suffering is due to our own mistakes and sin and that suffering is often well deserved consequences. However, when we suffer according to the will of God, or when we suffer while doing God's will and what is right, then we must commit the keeping of our souls to Him. God is faithful. God will fulfill His promises to us. God will always be there for us. We simply need to trust Him to do what He has promised He will do.
