| "So then, those who suffer according to God's will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good." 1Peter 4:19
The Christian life can be difficult - it may have many challenges, but God encourages us to carry on (Joshua 1:9). We may be tempted to despair or even give up (2 Corinthians 4:16-18) but the rewards of our perseverance can be great. Job had a very difficult life and experiences - but the Lord rewarded and restored much to him (Book of Job) We may not receive all that is promised in this life - however our continued faith is vital (Hebrews 11,12).
