Let us who suffer
according to God’s will
commit our souls
to Him
in doing good
as to a faithful Creator
who suffered
for our sin.
**********
“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit . . .”
“Therefore let those who suffer according to the will of God commit their souls to doing good, as to a faithful Creator.”
1 Peter 3:18, 4:19 NKJV

like His brethren

and true.
Jesus establishes what is new.

Though they make
war against Me
they will be
overcome
and you shall be
with Me
My faithful
chosen ones.
God bless you as you are with Him today!

was building an ark
as he worked on it
