Introduction and Daily Bible Reading
00:00:02
Speaker
Welcome back, everybody. Today is December 9th. My name is Robin. I'm with In the Family Way Coaching. And together, we're here for our daily Bible reading out of the Day by Day Kids Bible, written by Karen Henley.
Focus on 1 Peter: Endurance for Jesus
00:00:17
Speaker
Today we are going to be kind finishing with 1 Peter's letter. We are going to be covering chapters 4 and 5. But before we do that today, let's take out our calendar if you are following along and get out that sticker or your crayon, your marker, your pen, your pencil, and whatever you're using to cross off those days. Because we're about to hear the Bible today.
00:00:43
Speaker
Thank you so much for joining me. i am so glad that you are here with me and that you are hungry for more of God's
Personal Stories of Struggle and Growth
00:00:49
Speaker
Word. Today we are going to be continuing along the theme of Enduring for Jesus.
00:00:55
Speaker
And were today we're going to be taking a close bird's eye view as to what it looks like while we are enduring. I wanted to tell you ah about a little bit of my own personal struggle with this so that we can all feel like we are identifiable with this.
00:01:12
Speaker
Because so often it can seem like the person who is reading or talking about a subject, like they're already just totally perfect in that. And I love to share my struggles in these areas because God is growing me. And I love to share how God is growing me so that you can also see what it looks like as we grow.
00:01:33
Speaker
And that way ah you can get a sense for how to deal with it. We are told to share our sins with one another, to confess our sins with one another. So that's in a sense what I'm doing as well, because I'm going to be sharing with you what I've done wrong.
00:01:49
Speaker
So we spoke yesterday about enduring when people are treating us abusively. And first Peter actually uses the word abuse. And it's very mean. It's it's hurtful and it's difficult to endure. It's difficult to just keep moving on because it hurts. And yet we are told that we are to follow in Jesus's footsteps. So as ah as a believer for a long time, I'm 48 now, and I've been a believer since I was 16, officially. um
00:02:23
Speaker
Although I do feel that God has called me from the time I was very little. And i've've I attended ah Christian high school my my last senior year, and I've done a lot of Bible study. So I've spent a lot of time studying the word and and I've always loved it. And i as it because I was knowledgeable, i I was aware of... what we're supposed to do and how to behave and such, ah but that doesn't mean that I did it always properly.
00:02:54
Speaker
So today we're going to be looking at how to do things the right way. And I'm going to explain by showing you how I did not do it the right way. So as we were sharing yesterday about enduring difficult behaviors, and and I shared, for instance, specifically like with my daughter, I'm going to share a different example, is that it's difficult in my husband's family because I am younger than him. And I have not been well received into his family by his children.
00:03:26
Speaker
By the adults, yes. But and what I mean is by the older adults, like his relatives, like his aunts and ah and uncles and cousins and like that. But for his children, i have not been well received. And this is not a new relationship. We've been together for going on almost 24 years.
00:03:45
Speaker
And this has been 24 year long struggle for me. And so ah family events are not fun for me, because those that are spent with his
Family Acceptance and Humility
00:03:58
Speaker
family. And because they don't, they simply just are not nice to me.
00:04:03
Speaker
And it's difficult. And I've struggled with this for so long. So I, of course, when when you know that someone is not going to be treating you nicely, you kind of don't want to be there.
00:04:14
Speaker
But I knew that I should be there. And so I would endure knowing that I needed to um do the right thing. I needed to be there anyways, because not only that, but if somebody is is deliberately trying to make you miserable so that you won't go, I don't want them to feel like they are winning in that. Not in a sense of competition, but in the sense of that's their goal. And it's not right for somebody to try to push somebody away by deliberately being mean. And I'm a part of this family and I needed to maintain my presence so that I didn't just kind of get swept out.
00:04:52
Speaker
And so I was a maintaining my presence at family events and I was doing my best to be nice to people, to be kind, because that's what we're called to do.
00:05:06
Speaker
We're called to be good. We're called to not return and retaliate. But this is what was going on on the inside. I began to console myself with the teaching and probably from the very beginning, if I must be honest, it was probably from the beginning that I was doing the right thing because i was better than them.
00:05:27
Speaker
You have to, we we are off we often hear to be the better person. So that's where that came from, is that we are to be the bigger or better person. And so my husband would say, i want you to go because you're you're the better person. You're always the bigger one. You're always doing what's right.
00:05:46
Speaker
And so i would tell myself, okay, I'm doing this because I'm better than them. I'm gonna show them that I know how to do this the right way. I'm better than them.
00:05:56
Speaker
And that's not the right attitude to have. So I had to modify my attitude inside because God tells us that it's about the heart attitude.
00:06:08
Speaker
It's not about what we're pretending to be on the outside. So while my behavior may have been enduring, my heart was not.
00:06:20
Speaker
because I was hurt. And so we still need to refrain from thinking that we are doing the right thing in a situation because we are better than them.
00:06:33
Speaker
That was a tough one for me to overcome. I still make sure to remind myself of that, especially throughout this year, that when we make the right decisions, we are doing them because we choose to. And I was choosing to, but I also felt like I was doing them because I had to, because they were the right thing to do. And I knew they were the right thing to do, but I was doing them because i was better than them.
00:06:59
Speaker
Well, I'll do this, but it's because I'm a better person than they are. I'm better than you are. And I would actually say that at different times, like ah for instance, to my husband, I would say, you know what, whatever, I can't recall a specific situation. so you know, I'm going to do the right thing, but it's because I'm better than you are.
00:07:15
Speaker
I know the right thing to do. Whereas you, you don't do the right thing, but I'm going to do the right thing because I'm a better person than you are. Woo. So how do you like that for confessing our sins to one another?
00:07:28
Speaker
So in contrast, we are going to be looking at a close eye view as to what enduring really should look like. And it's not just this picture. When I picture somebody enduring, I picture like a strong man ah was lifting weights and they're going, er
00:07:49
Speaker
and they're holding and they're enduring this weight and they're going, ah sure ah If you're on video, you can see me. But if you're on audio, you can't see what I'm doing. I'm holding my arms in like in a weight and drawing them toward me like I'm lifting a weight.
00:08:05
Speaker
And it looks like we're just enduring this difficult weight. But Jesus taught us that,
Joy in Endurance and Behavioral Change
00:08:12
Speaker
for instance, when people are fasting, Jesus said that when you are fasting,
00:08:18
Speaker
Don't put on a grimace on your face to show that you are fasting, that you are hungry. He says, because then I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But instead, when you are fasting, put oil on your head. That's called anointing.
00:08:36
Speaker
And it's to show that we are joyful so that nobody knows that we are hungry. Instead of going, I'm so hungry. oh I've been fasting for days for God. And then people will go, oh, wow, that's really impressive.
00:08:51
Speaker
And instead of having that attitude of I'm better than you. we need to have an attitude of humility. and We need to show joy on the outside. And that joy on the outside needs to start on the inside. And that way, Jesus says, our Father in heaven who sees what is done in secret will reward us. Now, our goal is not simply reward, but we do get reward for when we are doing things, when we are suffering, as we learned yesterday for Jesus.
00:09:19
Speaker
And so today, starting in 1 Peter chapter 4, I'm going to read it out of our big Bible because I want us to get the full depth of this ah behavior as to what it looks like and what should be going on on the inside. What happens on the inside is what God is looking for, our heart attitude.
00:09:38
Speaker
Jesus tells us that if we are thinking about sin, we've already committed it. So while it may have looked outwardly like I was obeying or trying to do the right thing inwardly, it was not good.
00:09:52
Speaker
Leaving off ah from yesterday's ah reading where we learned that we are suffering for Jesus, Peter tells us today, Therefore, since Messiah suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same attitude.
00:10:11
Speaker
For the one who has suffered in the flesh is finished with sin. And as a result, he lives the rest of his time in the flesh no longer for human desires, but for God's will.
00:10:28
Speaker
And Peter goes on actually to say that the time has passed and it was enough for you to carry out the desires of those who live without knowing God.
00:10:39
Speaker
So let's pick up in our version today. and it says, people hurt Jesus because he obeyed God. And you should look at your troubles the same way.
00:10:51
Speaker
What if people hurt you for obeying God? Then it shows that you got rid of sin. Now you don't live to get what you want, and now you live to do what God wants.
00:11:03
Speaker
And you used to live like people who don't believe in God. You did anything that felt good at the moment. You tried to get whatever you wanted. You got drunk, you had wild parties, you worshipped idols.
00:11:18
Speaker
And people who don't believe in God think that you are strange now. This is similar to somebody, let's say, who is in recovery or who has changed their their behaviors, where they have to stop associating with those who they used to drink with or who they used to do drugs with, because now those people are, first of all, not a good influence and will lead them into temptation.
00:11:42
Speaker
And two, they're they're not going to understand the difference of what they see. So if you were, for instance, convicted of your sin and you used to um do particular sins, even as a believer, ah then sometimes this is what's going to occur is that people who you used to hang out with and do these things with are going to think that you are odd now.
00:12:07
Speaker
Peter says, people who don't believe in God think you're strange now because you don't do those things anymore. And so they make fun of you. So while this is specifically relating to being an unbeliever versus being a believer now, we are always spiritually growing. So, and none of us are perfect and we are young sometimes, you know, for a time. And even if we're not young, we could be 40 or 50 and come into conviction about things that we've been doing. And so this is relevant no matter how old we are.
00:12:40
Speaker
There are always things that perhaps we are hanging out with people or people see how we used to do things. And now the Holy Spirit is telling us, and no, that's not really behavior that God wants you to be involved with.
00:12:53
Speaker
And now the people may say, what's going on with you? I noticed you don't do this anymore. They may even make fun of you for it. Oh, now that you've become a believer, now you're a Jesus freak. now you're a Bible thumper. That's an old term. I don't think anybody uses that anymore. But for those of us old enough to remember it, we know what that means.
00:13:15
Speaker
And it says they will have to answer to God because God is ready to judge people whether they are alive or dead. And time is coming to an end. So you need to have a clear mind and control yourself because then you can pray.
00:13:31
Speaker
and we learned about the importance of prayer about a week or so ago. But most of all, have a deep love for each other because love can make up for a lot of sins.
00:13:46
Speaker
Our big Bible says that love covers a multitude of sins. I love that. So welcome each other into your homes and don't fuss about it.
00:13:58
Speaker
And God has given each of you spiritual gift, gift in your spirit. So use your gift to help people. Show God's kindness in different ways.
00:14:10
Speaker
So making sure that we stay focused on the topic of what endurance looks like. It doesn't look like a strong man just grunting his way through going, oh man, this is tough. ah And focusing on the difficulty.
00:14:25
Speaker
What it looks like is having an attitude like what Jesus did. And by having our love show and by forgiveness, because love makes up for a lot of sins.
00:14:41
Speaker
and using our spiritual gifts, yes, even potentially with those people who are fussing over us.
Love, Kindness, and Leadership
00:14:48
Speaker
Prayer, so that we can pray for those people who are giving us a difficult time and giving us that endurance time.
00:14:58
Speaker
Some people teach about God and they should teach as if they are saying God's own words. People who serve should let God make them strong And that way God will get the praise.
00:15:12
Speaker
God will have power forever and we will see his shining greatness forever. Yes, amen. so don't be surprised that you're having these hard times.
00:15:24
Speaker
This brings lots of pain to you, but don't think that it's strange. Instead, be glad that you are sharing in Jesus's pain.
00:15:35
Speaker
because then you will be even more glad to see his greatness. So what if people make fun of you because of Jesus? Well, then God will bring good to you, and God's Spirit is with you.
00:15:50
Speaker
Suzanne, while you are enduring, God's Spirit is with you. If you are in trouble, it should not be because you stole something, and it should not be because you killed someone. one It shouldn't be because you got into someone else's business, and it shouldn't be for doing anything else wrong.
00:16:11
Speaker
If you are in trouble for following Jesus, then you should not feel bad about it. And instead, praise God that you belong to Jesus. Suzanne, I praise God.
00:16:24
Speaker
God, you are so awesome. that suzanne bullock excuse me that Suzanne belongs to you. God, you are so awesome. I am so thankful that Suzanne belongs to you and that you put that on her heart.
00:16:39
Speaker
And it's time for God to judge his people. If it begins with us, then where will it end? What will happen to the people who don't believe in God's good news? The wise saying from God's word puts it this way.
00:16:54
Speaker
It's hard for people who do right to be saved. So what will happen to people who sin?
00:17:01
Speaker
Those people who are forcing you to endure. People who get hurt for obeying God should trust him. God keeps his promises and these people should keep doing good.
00:17:16
Speaker
So while we are enduring, keep doing good.
00:17:22
Speaker
I want to tell you leaders something. I'm a leader in the church too, Peter says. And I also saw Jesus being hurt. So we will share the great power that he will show us.
00:17:35
Speaker
Be like shepherds to God's people because they are like your sheep. And you take care of them. Help them and watch over them. And don't do it because you have to.
00:17:48
Speaker
Do it because you want to. God wants you to be happy to lead. So don't do it because you want money and don't do it because you want to do it because you do want to help.
00:18:01
Speaker
And don't be bossy. Our big Bible puts it this way. Peter says, don't do not lord it over those who are apportioned to you, but become an example to the flock.
00:18:14
Speaker
Jesus told us this when the disciples were grumbling among each other as to who was the best. And Jesus said, you know how those who are in authority lord it over each other.
00:18:26
Speaker
says, you are not to do this. So in essence, that's exactly what I was doing in my spirit, in my heart. I was lording it over the fact that I was better because I was doing what was right.
00:18:41
Speaker
I was trying to be an example But what ended up actually happening was we had I had some reconciliation recently that at with his daughter, who after his stroke saw everything that I was doing with her dad and her heart softened toward me. And so I was able to have a better relationship, but we were able to get along. There was still no getting to know you, though. And at dinner for my husband's birthday on Saturday, she shared some difficulties that she was going through. And i shared similarities in my own history of my family, where my mom experienced these things and the results of what it led to for us as children.
00:19:24
Speaker
And at the end of it, she said, wow. She said, thank you for sharing that about yourself. She said, I never have heard your story. I've never heard you say anything about that. And then she called me yesterday on Monday after we had had dinner on Saturday.
00:19:43
Speaker
And she said, I wanted to tell you that I've been thinking about you the past couple of days and talking about you. And I hope that's okay. But because I wanted you to know if I'm talking to other people about you, I thought, you know, I better call you and tell you too. But I really enjoyed talking with you. And it just, it brought so much joy. i just started crying. Yesterday I said I was having an amazing day and it's because this was going on. It had just happened.
00:20:09
Speaker
And I said, well, it's because you shared first. And she I said, you opened up the the the avenue there for me to be able to share that because otherwise it would not have been an appropriate time for me to just start blurting out these things. There wouldn't have been a topic of reference where that would be relevant, but you shared.
00:20:29
Speaker
And she said, yes, I understand that. She says, but you've also softened and you are more ah relatable. i can I feel like it's easier to talk to you. Whereas before, it seemed like you were forcing things. You were either silent or you were visibly showing that you were trying really hard. And I said, well, yeah, I was trying really hard because honestly, I i didn't feel like I was, I don't feel like I've been treated well in this family. And she said, no, you haven't.
00:21:02
Speaker
And I said, I was doing my best to try to be a part of it. And she said, but it was visible that you were trying so hard that it became where it was like you were doing too much.
00:21:14
Speaker
So that's, it was visible. We may not think that these attitudes are showing. but it was pervasive and she could see it and she could see when there was a change. Now, I also shared with her that God had given me an identity exchange when I told him that I felt rejected because I do.
00:21:38
Speaker
i felt rejected in the family. God gave me accepted, which then changed my attitude and it allowed me to be accepted.
00:21:50
Speaker
And she said, yes, I agree. She said, I like that. So we had this amazing conversation and it was it was really amazing. And I was just really shocked that she could see that I was trying so hard.
00:22:06
Speaker
and But what it came across is is that I was overdoing it. I was just doing my best to try, but it was visible. And so we we want to know that even though it may not appear that that's what we are doing, it it is actually visible.
00:22:24
Speaker
And so in a sense, I think then it was potentially also visible that I was potentially, that i was it was probably visible that I was lording it over them. Because if they could see that, I am not convinced that it's not visible at some point, that as you're doing things, you don't come across as, well, I'm better than you.
00:22:43
Speaker
So that was part of my point there too. So don't be bossy, live a good life that people can see. And that way they will live the way that you do.
00:22:54
Speaker
Don't lord it over people. Jesus, the good shepherd, will come back someday, and then he will help you shine like he does. And it will be like getting a shining crown from him.
00:23:07
Speaker
And that crown will never fade. So if you are a young man, let the older men lead. And don't act like you are the best. Instead, treat other people as if they are the important ones.
00:23:22
Speaker
There is a wise saying from God's word, and God's word puts it this way. God is against proud people, but his kind love comes to people who make others feel important.
00:23:37
Speaker
So treat others as the important ones, and then God will let you have an important place someday. I was not being ah unproud. I was proud. I was proud of the fact that I was better than them in my mind.
00:23:53
Speaker
And so I was not obedient to humility. I was not being humble. So I want you to see that that's what that also translates into as we are thinking that we are better or doing something for the wrong reason.
00:24:11
Speaker
Tell God about all of your worries and then trust him to take care of those worries. Our big Bible puts it this way, to cast all of our anxieties on him.
00:24:25
Speaker
Cast all your worries on him, for he cares for you.
00:24:31
Speaker
Control yourself and watch out because Satan is your enemy. And he is like a roaring lion. He creeps around looking for somebody to get his teeth into.
00:24:44
Speaker
So push him away and keep believing in Jesus. Our big Bible puts it this way. Stay alert. Watch out.
00:24:55
Speaker
Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, searching for someone to devour. Stand up against him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of sufferings are being laid upon your brothers and sisters throughout the world.
Resisting Deception and Embracing Faith
00:25:14
Speaker
That's important to me is to remind us and to remember that Satan wants us to feel like we are suffering alone. Nobody understands what we're going through. What we are enduring is is not what somebody else is enduring. Yeah, but you don't know what it feels like. Yeah, but you don't know what I'm going through.
00:25:31
Speaker
That's not actually true. That's Satan trying to devour you. And it's for that main reason also that I wanted to be sure and share with you to confess our sins, to confess my sin to you and to show you what it looked like as I was enduring and how I was not doing it right. Because then Satan was getting his teeth into me.
00:25:54
Speaker
And keeping that going with, oh, you're just better than them. So just endure, just keep going. You know, you're better than they are. So you're yeah, he can distort the word. He can just he can use the word to work against you. He disguises himself as an angel of light. So absolutely he can do that.
00:26:13
Speaker
He mistranslates the word all the time, way back from the very, very beginning when he told eve Well, did God say you couldn't eat any of the fruit? And she said, no no, no, we can eat all of it except for this one. Oh, that's because he knows that you will be wise like him.
00:26:33
Speaker
you will not die. ah but they would die. He's tricky that way. He's very tricky. He makes it seem like you are obeying or that you know what's right or good, but we need to obey God.
00:26:49
Speaker
not giving him a foothold, him being the adversary. God is the God of kind love. And he called you to live in his greatness forever.
00:27:03
Speaker
And you may have troubles for a while, but guess what? He will make up for it. And he will make you strong. And he will keep you on track forever.
00:27:14
Speaker
and all power belongs to him for forever. Yes, amen. Peter says, I wrote this letter to you with the help of Silas.
00:27:24
Speaker
He believes in God and keeps following him. This is just a short letter, and it's to help you feel better. It's to tell you that God's kind love is with you.
00:27:35
Speaker
So keep living in God's kind love. Mark says to tell you hi and tell each other hello with a kiss of love. And I pray that God will send you his peace.
Closing Prayer and Future Reflections
00:27:48
Speaker
Our big Bible says, Shalom to all of you who are in Messiah. Amen. I'm going to pray that over us today before we leave as well.
00:28:01
Speaker
Well, I hope that you have enjoyed this close up microscopic view of what it looks like when we are enduring and what it does not look like. we We talked a little bit about understanding the difference as to what things look like and when they don't so that we know the difference so that we can see.
00:28:19
Speaker
Sometimes if something is not specifically pointed out as to what something does not look like, like a counterfeit, I use the example of counterfeit money. If we don't know what real money looks like,
00:28:31
Speaker
then it's difficult to spot the counterfeit. So as a bank teller, when I was in a school to learn how to be a bank teller, they teach you to learn what real money looks like. All the little marks, all the little details to know what it does look like.
00:28:48
Speaker
So that when something comes in you spot something that's different. You spot what's different. You know, those little game pictures that say there's something different about these two pictures. Circle the things that are different.
00:29:02
Speaker
So that's a good game to play with God's word. Spot what's different when we see behavior in ourselves. And so now we see what it should look like while we are enduring.
00:29:13
Speaker
It should look like kind love, love that covers a multitude of sins. It should look like giving your cares, your worries over to God. But our big Bible says not just to give him our worries, but to trust in him.
00:29:32
Speaker
We have to remember to trust in him. Trust that God is actually going to care and take care of them. It might take a long time, 24 years, maybe more. And it may seem like a really long time, but it's still only for a time.
00:29:49
Speaker
And so now I have hope. that at least that lesson of endurance is over. And it opened my eyes to what I was doing wrong with my lack of humility. And I pray that you will see the areas where you need to and show improvement, where God is convicting your spirit as to what it does look like when we endure with the right attitude, the right spirit.
00:30:16
Speaker
And if we are a leader who is enduring, we need to remember to be a good example. for our flock. Because the great shepherd, the chief shepherd, he will come back someday.
00:30:30
Speaker
And those who are in a position of leadership are held to a higher standard because we are teaching others. So I hope that you are encouraged and i hope that you feel that God has lit your light today.
00:30:44
Speaker
And I hope that you are hungry for more of God's word and that you will return tomorrow for more daily reading from the Day by Day Kids Bible written by Karen Henley. We are so close to the end of the year. Keep going strong, my brothers and sisters. Keep it up. You can do it. Let's finish this year out strong. And I want to encourage you that if you have not been listening from the very beginning, come January 1st, start over at the beginning.
00:31:10
Speaker
I am considering as still, I'm not sure if I am supposed to do or if I'm a able to do a a full version of the Bible. So if you could maybe leave me a comment on the audio portion, letting me know if that is something that interests you to do like a second helping or a diving deeper into using the full word of God, which can seem a little daunting. That's why we did this version this year.
00:31:36
Speaker
And there's nothing wrong with repeating last year. It's okay. I'm also looking at doing ah ah separate, just just regular podcastings of just different topics that God gives me to talk about, as you would expect in a normal podcaster and a normal viewing rather than simply just hearing the word each day with some daily application. And I'm wondering if God is transitioning me to that, that this project may come to a close. And maybe I'm just having a hard time transitioning. I do have difficulty with transition. So so if you won't mind praying for me as to ah what I should do come January 1st next year, because it may seem like it's a couple of weeks off, but you know what? I would have to start preparing for something now.
00:32:20
Speaker
And so I want to ask for your prayers for guidance that I would hear God telling me and showing me what exactly it is that I should do as the year is coming for me to prepare for that.
00:32:32
Speaker
Well, thank you for being here with me, whether you have been listening on your podcast or watching the video. I'm so glad that you are joining me here today. And before we leave today, I want to wish shalom to all of you who are with me here in Messiah.
00:32:48
Speaker
Remember, shalom is not just a fancy word for peace. It means wholeness, wellness, fullness, that we are connected to God in spirit and that you and I also are connected. We are one in spirit. All of us, I may not know you. You may only be listening or watching, but our spirit is connected.
00:33:10
Speaker
We are the body of Jesus. We are connected by God's spirit. We are one in him and we are one in one another and we are one together in him. So thank you for being here with me and I will see you all again tomorrow.
