5.21.17 I Peter 3:10-12

LOOK:

A “good day” for the believer who “loves life” is not one in which he is pampered and sheltered, but one in which he experiences God’s help and blessing because of life’s problems and trials. It is a day in which he magnifies the Lord (Ps. 34:1–3), experiences answers to prayer (Ps. 34:4–7), tastes the goodness of God (Ps. 34:8), and senses the nearness of God (Ps. 34:18).

The next time you think you are having a “bad day,” and you hate life, read Psalm 34 and you may discover you are really having a “good day” to the glory of God!

Love is a recurring theme in Peter’s letters, not only God’s love for us, but also our love for others. We should begin with love for God’s people, evidenced by unity of mind, compassion, tenderness of heart toward others, and loving our enemies.

It might be good if couples occasionally took inventory of their marriages. Here are some suggested questions to process, based on what Peter wrote:

  1. Are we partners or competitors?
  2. Are we helping each other become more spiritual?
  3. Are we depending on the externals or the eternals? The artificial or the real?
  4. Do we understand each other better?
  5. Are we sensitive to each other’s feelings and ideas, or taking each other for granted?
  6. Are we seeing God answer our prayers?
  7. Are we enriched because of our marriage, or robbing each other of God’s blessing?

LOOK:

Here is the wonderful truth Peter wanted to share: as we live godly lives and submit in times of suffering, we are following Christ’s example and becoming more like Him. We submit and obey, not only for the sake of lost souls and for the Lord’s sake, but also for our own sake, that we might grow spiritually and become more like Christ.

The unsaved world is watching us, but the Shepherd in heaven is also watching over us; so we have nothing to fear. We can submit to Him and know that He will work everything together for our good and His glory.
